Oil Change and Tire Rotation Interval?

Okay...the owner's manual says to change the oil and rotate the tires every 7500 miles unless your in extreme conditions. I'm in the Albany, NY area (I won't classify the area as extreme cold weather) and I do mostly highway communitting driving with the car (50 miles round trip per day in light to moderate traffic).

I have been getting the oil changed every 5000 miles and tires rotated every 10000 miles. Is that too infrequent? Or should I really be changing the oil every 3750 miles and the tires rotated every 7500 miles?

if youre using synthetic oil, its probably fine. if youre using regular oil, id go with 3000.
