Default how often you change your engine oil?

does anyone change their oil for often then 5000 mile intervals? last service was at 1000 and just rolled 3000 today but 1000 was done last fall.

Ride it 2K more then change it, if you check your levels and they are good, change it at 5k.
It can handle it.......
