Sorry I can be more clear, the 06+ have a computer that monitors the car and estimates oil life. Earlier cars have a dummy light that comes on every 6k mi - blinking at first, then steady. It will come on every 6k mi no matter what.

Every 5K miles with Mobil 1 synthetic. Probably still too often.. I would change it every 3K if I was trying to get a million miles out of it just to keep it cleaner, but what's the point? Every 5K should be often enough to get 200K miles out of her. Chances are it will be totalled before then anyway. As the value goes down, doesn't take much to total a car.
