Nah, most UOA's show good synthetic has life left in it after 5 or even 7K depending on how hard the car is driven and the environment. I use OEM air filters and good oil and oil filters so I usually change it every 5k unless I've been running it hard a lot.

Subaru now recommends 3,250K for all of their turbo vehicles, I believe. I never understood how they could recommend every 7,500 miles like they did when my car was new. That's really pushing it on conventional oil.
