How many mileage with synthetic oil?

I just got a full synthetic oil change. How many miles do you usually go with synthetic oil? I'm thinking around 6000 depending on driving style?

I do 5000 with Mobil 1 5W-30. I could probably go another 1-2K if I wanted to. (oil analysis ~1yr ago said so)

My manual says you can go 7,500 miles with standard oil.

The length you go depends on many different things. The best way to find out what is safe would be an oil analysis. I'm personally hoping to get 10k out of mine with amsoil 0w30 and changing the filter at 5k. But will find out with oil analysis.
