Chuck hit it right on the head....you can easily go 15k between oil changes, but it would be advised to do an oil anlysis every 5-7.5k. The oil can easily make it to 15-20k, but be conserned with the other junk that can find its way in. Case in point: I drive an '96 dodge and change the oil every 2k in winter because the short trips I make increase the fuel dilution significantly. The oil is still fine, but the lubricating qualities start dropping off when 3% of the oil is gasoline.

As far as filters goes, the standard 'ol Fram is the best...no joke. Look at their boxes, what they claim is right(I've worked in the lube filter world and have done competitive testing on them). The 99% multi pass efficiency measured via the J1589 test spec on their Tough Guard filters is right on and is the industry's best.(J1589 is the standard test for all spin on lube filters) $10 amsoil filters won't even come close in terms of performance. In short, buy the Fram Tough Guard filters, and you will have the best spin on filter avaliable.
