I change oil and filter every 5k miles, makes it easy to remember with several vehicles.
I do same only at 10,000 ;)
Even easier and with the quality of today's oils is probably a non-issue. I ran Mobil one in a 84 Dodge PU and changed oil in it ever 10k miles. Sold the truck at 200k miles to a friend in 94. He drove it another 10 years and sold it to a teenager in the neighborhood who is still driving it, same engine and doesn't smoke. 318 V-8 automatic.
Not luck, just good old American engineering. Those old LA engines will last forever even when neglected, just like the 4.0L in my daughters Jeep!
Back during 9-11 the refinery had a jeep Cherokee that did nothing but circle the refinery for security. It had over 400k miles on it before they replaced it and was still running.
