Miles between Oil Changes

How many miles do you guys go between oil changes. I use Rotella Synthetic and typically change every 3-5K but I've heard it can go longer between changes when using the synthetic.

I run Rotella dino and go 10,000 kms (6000 miles) between oil changes. Truck has almost 300,000 kms (180,000 miles) on it with no HPOP or other related issues.
