I agree with alot of what you say, and you are right on many points, but as for DC recommending the change every 5k, not according the schedule B in my owners manual. And even so, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Syntheic and a good filter (not the crappy generic Mopar oil filter) can only protect you so far. [:0]

You mean the Schedule B which is for SEVERE usage? I hardly think the way most people drive their GTs is SEVERE usage.
Do you have any FACTS to back up your assertion that you should just dump money into your car above and beyond what the manufacturer recommends? I drove several Chrysler turbo cars on dino oil and FRAM oil filters well into the 200,000 mile range without replacing anything but normal maintenance parts (timing belt, brakes, etc).
Telling people to spend money needlessly on their car simply because they spent a lot up front is just plain silly. It's like trying to get people to buy those worthless $100 set of MONSTER cables for thier stereo system. $8 of speaker wire will work just fine, spending the extra $92 dollars just makes you look foolish.
You want to buy quality oil and filters, I applaud you. But telling people to change it every 3,000 miles when the manufacturer recommends 5,000 miles with inferior products? ....
