We use mobil-i in our saab--change every 5K miles.
My wife wants to change every 3K but i insist that that's unnecessary, especially as we use a puralator pure one filter.
We use the puralator pure one filter--it's really good and reasonable, and it's supposedly 95% as good as the mobil-1 filter.
I initially wanted to get her to move to a 10K oil change regimin, but the oil looks pretty black after 5K miles, so every 5K seems OK to me. That's about once every 1/2 year on this car.
We still have some 5w30 that i will use on it this winter, then i'll switch over to 10w40 or 5w40 for longevity. I run 15w50 in my bimmer.
