That said, I think the 10,000/15,000 recommended oil change intervals are crazy. They recommend that for "ideal" driving conditions which really doesn't exist, and shorter for "severe" conditions which more realistic for majority of drivers. I actually drive very few miles and live in "severe" conditions: average 7-12K miles/yr and live in Mpls, MN.
I do 5K-7K on my '02 9-5 Aero Wagon w/ Mobil 1 Full Syn, and 3K-4K on my 89 SPG w/ Castrol Dyno. I use Mann or Saab filters.
Just my 2 cents.
