Thats the thing, the minimum requirements as set out in the manual are oil every 5,000km for people who live in Canadistan.
Also, the weak link there is probably the lifespan of the filter.
I admit I haven't looked in to the owner's manual, but 5,000km is total overkill, I agree!
Do you have a GT? For the V6, the oil filter is very expensive from the stealership, but it is a high-quality unit made by Mahle, who do filters for Benz and BMW, engines that call for 20-25K oil change intervals, so I have confidence it will be suitable for a 12-15K interval.
