oil change intervals

Just wanted to see when you guys change your oil, and whether your intervals are with syn, or dino oil. Thanks

80 percent of my driving falls under severe driving conditions.
Either I am making short trips or hauling or towing heavy loads.
I change mine at 3000 miles with either dino or synthetic.
Soot levels do not change because of the type of oil you use.
And I also use the Fleetguard LF 3630 two quart oil filter. (PS type filter)

2500-3000 miles, but I dont drive it much so I will probably average no more than 2 oil changes a year. I use Rotella 5w-40 Synthetic Oil and a FL1995 filter
