Without getting into the pros and cons of extended drain intervals...
Strictly as a practical matter, I've found that changing oil/filter at 5K & 10K to be quite handy.
When your odometer approaches a derivative of 5000 or 10000, you know you're due for a change. (So you need not refer back to your records). It really is tremendously convenient.
Just my 2 cents... arguably worth that.
