I changed my oil every 5000 Ks in my GenIII VY SS, Cheap insurance in my book.

Always used Mobil Synth S 10/40, not Mobil 1.
Never had a motor problem in 80,000Ks I had the car.

The less Kms an engine does the sooner the oil change intervals. Due to fuel wash, constant cold running etc. Oil changing is cheaper than rebuilding a motor.
