Depends on the car and the oil you use.

For example. Newer cars like shertex's 2006 CDI, could go 20K on synthetic motor oil if oil analysis allows which I have seen.

My newer cars I do easily 10-12K on synthetics.

My w123 using conventional motor oil, I do 5,000-6,000 mile oil changes. But if I was using a synthetic oil and not burning waste veggie, I would do a 8-10K oil changes with an oil analysis once to check.
