Yes, In my opinion changing your oil at 5K is a bit overkill. You can easily go 8-10K with synthetic oil. But since an oil change isn't very expensive, some change it early.That is quite a short interval. The maintenance manual says to change oil & filter every 8K miles and this is with conventional oil. With synthetic you should be able to go at least 8K and maybe even 10K.
