Re: running synthetic at high mileage good or bad?

My SVX is at ~198,000mi.
After I had the leaky gaskets replaced, I switched it over to mobil1 synthetic.
I don't like having to get my oil changed every 3000mi, so my choice is a matter of laziness.

Last year I changed the oil in September. Then in October I parked her for the winter.
So come May when I brought her out her winter slumber, it was 6months later and time to dump the oil and replace it, with less than 1000mi on the oil...
Which does kind of tick me off, at $85 an oil change it does seem like a waste..

I only drive the SVX in the summer (may-october), and then I usually only drive her on the weekends. I don't even think I do 7500mi a year in the SVX...
But every time I walk out of a store and look in the parking lot and she is sitting there, I think to myself, god I love my car, she is so sexy!
She just stands out, looks like nothing else in the lot, and I love that.
Downside of that is when I'm in the 2011 legacy, and I have to wander the lot trying to find it mixed in with all the toyota camrys...
