10000 KM, which is about 6200 miles on synthetic.
Just as an aside, wife's 2010 Equinox with the direct injection 3.0 6 cylinder is going 16000km (10000 miles) per the GM oil life monitor, and I'm guessing it's only conventional oil. Mind you, she is probably 90% highway...still I wouldn't leave it in that long if it was me, but it's a company vehicle, so we're going by the OLM.

I use Valvoline 5w-30 semi synthetic and change it every four months regardless of mileage.
However with the little I drive I never go over 3,000 miles between changes.

I go 5k on whatever the dealer puts in. The engineers who designed the engine said 5K is the recommended interval; who am I to argue with them?
EDIT: I wanted to add that 5K happens to correspond to 6 months for us. And I do it every 6 months or 5K miles, whichever comes first.
