The time interval is the important one. Synthetic oils don't really have a limit to their mileage life. The filter needs changing and the oil gets contaminated by water condensation if used mainly for short trips or low mileage accumulation occurs.
Always change the oil by time interval regardless of whether the mileage limit has also been reached, even if zero miles accumulated.
