if you drive the car gently, allow it to warn up and cool down correctly and maintain highway speeds most of the time there will be very little wear to your engine and you can extend your oil life drastically.

if you rev the car hard and drive like a looney (like me in the beetle) then you will be lucky to get even 2000km out of the oil before it starts losing it's lubrication abilities).

may i suggest you swap out the filter this time as well and ensure you use a genuine filter as the cheap ones are NOT good and can cause oil starvation at high revs, as well as poor filtration & leakages.
