depends on the engine oil type, if full synthetic could go up to 8000km.
semi synthetic up to 4000km, although in manual book it is recommended to change engine oil each 3000km.

I have tried to change engine oil at different mileage. 3000km is the best spot.
I am using full synthetic 10W-40 oil.
4000km the oil is a bit too thick. Performance still ok, but engine not so smooth
5000km, the oil is thick already. Performance degraded slightly at top rpm, engine not smooth.
6000km (written in manual book), the oil is damn thick, after oil change the engine feel so light and silent.
I also noticed, oil change beyond 3000km will increase the fuel consumption, decreasing about 10km journey per full tank. When oil becomes thicker, fuel consumption become worse. 6000km change has bad FC, decreasing about 20km journey per full tank. I have a throttle indicator so I know roughly how much I throttle and what FC i will get.
At 3000km, I am just changing the engine oil. Oil filter can be changed every 6000km.
