I purchased my '92 9000 new and have changed oil/filter (dino oil) every 5000 miles. The car has 133k miles, and uses less than one half quart between changes. This method makes it easy to remember when to change too. When the speedo gets to an even 5000 mile mark, it's time for servicing. That's also when I rotate tires. Just as important as changing the oil is changing the air filter. Dirt coming in through the induction system will damage the engine just as quickly (and maybe even more quickly) as dirty oil. I change the air filter about every 10,000 miles.
For my '98 CSE w/Aero engine, I use Mobil 1, and use the same 5000 miles between changes. It has 94,000 miles and I can't see any oil consumption between changes.
