I have mobil 1 synthetic in my car, and change about every 4-5k. I did my first oil change at 1k, then 5k, 9k, switched to full synth at 11k, and about to do my next oil change at 15k.

Like Scott said, it's probably overkill, but I'd stick with the recommended mileage intervals.
For me, it's once a year regardless of mileage. My next change will be this December.

Well I take the full advantage of what synthetic oil offers, my stang and all my vehicles get oil changed at 12k or 12 month intervals, which ever comes first. Top off as necessary. I also change the Mobil 1 extended service oil filter out at 4 k intervals.
Two of my vehicles have over 100k on them now and no signs of distress or excessive oil consumption.
If you are into 3k interval changes, might as well save some money and use as good grade mineral oil.
