Oil change cost?

From what I've read the 5w-50 was just to cover all vehicles across the nation in all climates under harder driving conditions. I run the same RP HPS, what made you switch?

I change at 5k right now but this is part of why I'll be sending in oil samples to be tested, I'd like to see what's left in the oil. RP and AMSOIL are confident in getting 10k between changes under "normal" driving conditions.

RP was one of my sponsors for SEMA, they gave me a case of 5w30 XPR which is their full race oil. I didn't see the sense in spending that kind of money to keep XPR so I stepped down to HPS since I don't race the car often enough to justify it. They use the same additive in both formula's.
