Paying that much for an oil change is ridiculous...I bought ramps and do it myself now...there is no science in doing it: pull the plug, drain the oil, remove the filter, put new filter in, put the plug back in, put new oil in engine and you are done...
Anyways, to the facts and opinions:
Opinion: people run conventional up to 5K, why not run synthetic much further than that? I am at 6K now and will probably change it at 7-8K because of my driving habits...I would run all the way up to 10K otherwise.
Fact: my Acura RDX with a 2.3 Turbo engine told me to change it at about 8K the last interval.
Fact: ask a tech what the 9-3SS intervals are on average (it uses a computer too), I bet is much higher than 5K
Fact: Turbo engines may consume a bit of oil in their normal cycle, so make sure you check the level, especially if you will be running for a lot of miles in between changes.
