Synth will always be better than mineral but to use it just to extend the oil changes defeats the object as its all about keeping the engine going for the long haul . As Dieselfreak says 7500 miles max sounds about right

I reckon 6000 miles would be about right for me, then I can re-use the waste oil by putting it into my other car. its a ford sierra 2.3 diesel that gets through oil so quickly it doesnt matter what you put in.

Change mine every 3k regardless.The reason being,(and there might be other factors involved) is that US cars frequently hit 200/250k miles easy because oil changes are every 3k.
