Even when using mineral oil, changing every 1k is too much.
For low rpm bikes like a kapcai, using mineral oil is ok for 3k or 4k unless you feel it's getting rougher or noisier or clunky when changing gears then change the oil.
I sometimes use mineral oil for my kapcai and it can last for 5k. Fully synthetic for my big bike sometimes after 3k it's already rough when engine is hot. So I change it.
Most people don't really follow manufacturer guideline and change the oil more frequently than the rated 10,000km/16,000km interval

Just done 3k km on the fully synthetic 10W40 and did oil change, gear change now feels a lot smoother again. Past 2k km, quick, consecutive gear change kinda always result in the clutch/gear being stuck and needing a little throttle before I can change gear again, usually happens when I go from 6-1 when I stop at traffic light. Used to happen even during my kapchai day, not sure if it has anything to do with oil.
