I am anywhere from 3000 to 10000 plus on my semi truck. My daily driver gets done in April and October. Usually not many miles on it but my commute is short and it’s an old carbureted 350 so I figure 6 months is safe. I run conventional 10w30.
Up to 7500 miles or 1 year... whichever comes first... give or take a little.
My Subaru is at the manufacturer's recommendation. However, I think I'm just going to switch to one year changes with supertech synthetic HM. I do 10k miles a year with the way the world works now and everything I've seen on this engine shows that it's more than capable of a 10K drain interval.
My pickup gets a once a year oil change. Usually that comes to 5k miles. I may switch to a single filter change a year and it loses a quart every 300 miles out of the right side head gasket.
The Jeep has averaged an oil change every 150 miles over the past 4 years.

Don't put enough miles on my GMC or Lucerne so I change them annually in the spring.
The wife's caddy's engine is still under warranty and the mech wants to change it every 3k until the warranty is done, not sure what will happen after that, she likes him and goes by what he says so no sense in jumping in, at least she takes care of her car and you know what they say, if mama ain't happy..........

For the two 98 Chevrolet trucks, I go 3,000 miles on an oil change but that usually takes over a year to happen.
On the Mustang I was originally going by the OLM but recently changed to every 5,000 mile changes.
On the Cavalier I go every 5,000 miles and on the 70 Monte I don't really have a specific interval since it hardly ever gets driven. Probably every few years.

Safe, reasonable, easy to remember!
2008 F150 every 4500 miles.
UOAs are mostly useful for monitoring the condition of the oil for dirt, fuel and coolant. The rest is more for the sport of it. I would only do UOAs if there was some indicator of a problem. I do 10K OCIs (have for the last 43 years) and call it a day.
3-5K miles.

Usually 5k dino for oil burner (with top off) or 7.5k for syn if the car doesn't burn.
