You can easily go 5k miles on a full synthetic(Redline, Mobil 1, Amsoil, Motul, etc.).
If you're not convinced get a UOA done at 3,000 and see how much life is left in your oil.

The type of driving has much to do with how long you should go between changes if you're not using emperical data from a UOA. If you drive many freeway miles and do not just drive your car to the corner store and back, you can go longer between changes versus that driver who does run to the market and back and lives in VTEC while doing it. 
How you drive is nearly as important as how far you drive.

The color of the oil is a little disturbing, but I do agree with you that the syn oil can go to 5k and beyond....
