I could actually go longer but 10k is nearly 2 years for me (I spread annual mileage across several cars).

A good setup will have the drain point lower than the bottom of the filter, so what you do is let the vehicle set for a while before changing the filter. While doing this you lose virtually no oil where as the other way a little bit is lost.
