I go 6k miles on my 2020 passport (Mobil 1 syn. and Wix syn. oil filter). I also rotate my tires at the same time. Change intervals are debatable. The cost is negligible to me in exchange for knowing I have fresh oil and a filter on my rig. Further, I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10 to 12 more years so engine longevity without issues is very important to me. Besides, I would rather error on changing too soon vs. going too long. Peace of mind.

I have a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4L with 220,000 miles on it. I change my oil with 0W-20 full synthetic every 8,000 to 10,000 miles or usually when my oil light get to about 10 to 5%. I’ve had zero problems so far.
My old 8th gen, I changed it once the maintenance minder popped to zero. Never sooner. My logic, easy driving, quality oil, I'm well within safe margins. That car was fed mobil 1 most of its life. Valvetrain stayed bright aluminum. OCI's we're near 6800 miles.
8k miles is just fine. I did that the entire time I've had multiple cars and they have gone a great distance:
I use my 09 Fit as a courier vehicle. I've driven over 80,000 miles in 14 months. If I did oil changes every 5k miles, I'd be under the car every 3 weeks.
I just follow the maintenance minder, which works out to 10k miles, give or take, but I've done that over all the 175,000 miles I've put on it in 10 years. I use Castrol GTX high mileage, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference. I've seen a lot of stuff saying Walmart Supertech is probably just as good,if not better than name brand oils.
I do my own valve adjustments, and the inside of the engine is nice and clean...
I drive my car pretty hard, so 5k is preferred for me.
I ran a Honda service department for years. If you have oil in the plugs - engine is shot. If it wasn’t a Honda you may change rings to fix the problem.
I had 280k on my 01 accord when the og snapped, thought it had been swapped by previous owner as it looked to be in good shape when I did the water pump and I ate that about as fast as I stopped when it killed my engine.
Started occuring around 5,000 miles on my 23 Si. Currently at 9,000 miles, and gets stuck very frequently. First started as just a sticky/notch feeling. Now at low speeds you can audibly hear the rack when it gets bound up. Through corners, steering doesn't return to center every time, and on straight aways, gets bound pretty much every 10-15 seconds.
Second time this year i need to change the radiator or how it's called. It has been changed at least once per year + once the compressor.
