I have 2,500 miles on my current oil in a car with 167,000 miles on it, and the oil is still gold. I am seriously thinking about going to 10,000 mile oil changes with filter changes at 5,000 miles. I also have a magnet that I attach to the filter so that it catches even the smallest pieces of metal that the filter might miss. That magnet wasn't cheap either.
What do you guys think about magnets on the side of the oil filter?

I always utilize them along with my tin foil hat. If I'm not mistaken cars used to come equiped with a magnetic drain plug. I used to work in a service station when I was in high school and one of the guys I worked with got a swift kick in the arse cause he didn't clean a drain plug and the boss caught him in his admission. The boss/owner of the station, a Sohio, thats Standard oil of Ohio for the uninformed, station in Dayton was a stickler for doing things correctly. He was an x Marine from WW2. Not to be messed with.
