   If the engine shares oil with the clutch, it's not so good.

   Most people went with the recommended extended oil change of 5000 miles   
   back then. That's not much of a difference from the normal 3000 mile oil   
   change when using standard oil.

   Most synthetic oil change intervals are recommended for around 7000 miles   
   today. I use Mobil One in all of my vehicles and change the filter at 3500   
   miles, then the oil at 7000.

   Yeup. I know people who don't change their synthetic oil at all, others   
   who change it just like it was 3000 mile oil.
