The only real way to know when oil should be changed regardless of dino of synthetic is for an oil analysis to be done. Everything else is guesstimate.
Whatever makes you happy other than that, some vehicles are hard on oil and some are not and even depends on brands and weight. I've had cars that woukd eat certain brands for some reason and smoke with a different brand.

My old man taught me years ago that staying on top of it and changing it regularly is the easiest and cheapest thing you can do to increase the longevity of a vehicle.

That sounds stupid to me, so once a week I'm going to take a sample and get it analyzed to know when to change it?
Oil analysis tells one if there is more than normal metals and/or if there is coolant getting into the crankcase as well show its viscosity. If it's been in there for a long duration it can tell what lubricating properties are left in it.
If one were to keep track of the oil pressure one would see a drop in pressure when the oil is broken down, at that exact moment you are ready to change it. In a real world of course
Again as Strata stated it is regional

Whatever you say. It ain’t no typical wood frame construction. There is an architectural anomaly or two. Lady up the street said she saw it trucked in on like 6 flatbeds after foundation and rock work was done.

Judging by the thickness I'd say 2x10s on 16" center with ends supported by the walls.

Don’t what it’s called other than mid-century modern.

Other stuff.

Kid had someone paint it and gave it as a gift for Christmas.
