Welcome to the AF!
No problem. Change it every 10k if you drive mostly on the expressway. 5K in town.
If you really want to stretch the oil change interval, send samples into an oil analysis lab and keep an eye on the additive levels. Once you see what is normal for your driving habits, you don't have to do the analysis but once in a while to make sure nothing has changed. Keep an eye on your PCV valve and make sure it's functioning every 5K if you are extending your interval.
Two places to get your oil analyzed are:
Lubricon Lubricant Consultants, Inc 350 E. Churchman Ave. Beech Grove, IN 46107 (317) 783-2968
Cleveland Technical Center 18419 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44112-1016 (800) 726-5400
