I doubt many cars here see "severe service", most would do perfectly fine going 6 months/10,000.

Yeah I know, but I'm a spazz when it comes to my SVT and my bike(I have to change the oil in my bike often as it only holds 2 litres of oil which isn't very much for such a high strung hot running engine). I only stated those numbers because that is what is recommended . . .

My winter car can see 5000kms maybe a little more, but not anywhere near 10 000kms, as it is a high mileage car (215 000kms). I know 215 isn't THAT high but it is a 1994 Buick Regal . . . I'm surprised it's still moving . . .

If I were to use synthetic, I would change it every 8000kms or 5 months . . . but again, I am a spazz. I read somewhere that synthetic oil still works just fine at 10 000 miles (notice miles, not kms). . .
