How long between oil changes?

my car is a weekend/fun car, not a daily driver.
2000 2.7L.

the last oil change, before I bought the car fromm my dad - was at 70k miles. that was in late 2007.

the car now has about 76000. so it's averaging 3k/year.....

i know the book says I can go 10k between oil changes, but is there any "general" rule that most of you here follow for cars that don't get driven a ton?

do you recommend changin teh oil much sooner, not as soon???

this is my first POrsche, and now that I've put about 6-7k miles on the car, i'm wondering if I should change the oil now, or wait one more year / 3k more miles to do it???

my oil level is fine, and has not needed any added oil since it was last changed...
