My box is a daily driver, winter and summer. I've put about 15k miles on it since September 2010. I change the oil with Mobile1 every 5k miles and the filter each time as well. Seems to be working great so far, haven't had one issue since I bought it, no oil leaks, and I'm at about 57k miles on a 2001. Every time I get in the car to drive, I let it sit for a few minutes until the cold cycle ends (revs drop to normal) and never let the revs go over about 3500 until the engine is almost all the way warmed up. I don't push it hard; having said that, I hit about 7k rpm once or so a month just to make sure i stretch its legs and clear out carbon deposits from what I've been told. Only use shell 93 gas.
