I change between 3k and 5k depending on where and how it's been driven. I use full synthetic oil.
What's the point in changing synthetic that frequently? Do you tow in hilly terrain 90% of the time?

Nope but the most common failure on GM dod engines is the mechanism that drops out the cylinders getting gunked up with carbon and crud from oil so I change it frequently to prevent it.

I used to follow the OLM on my GMC until it started burning 3qts of oil every 5k miles.
Either way the difference between getting your oil changed at 5k and 7.5k is like $200-$300 over 100k miles.
