I've always followed the 500 mile school of thought.  As to synthetic, I 
think the jury is still out on how much more effective they are than good 
quality natural oil (replaced every 3000 miles).  There was a really good 
discussion about the synthetics in the rec.outdoors.rv-travel group 
several months ago.  Use WWW.DEJANEWS.COM to search for the posts.
