I would change it every 5k miles or 1 year. Whichever comes first.

yes. AoA says 10k miles is good enough but I would say with Castrol Syntec is fine to about 5k.


I am also planning to do a oil analysis to see how things look.

Cheers

depends on usage:

high service, ie, in town, stop & go, short trips ~5k miles, low mpg

Which washer is recommended to change when doing an oil change? I just got some renewable lubricants bio-synth oil and going to get it changed this weekend.
