Exactly. Pure synthetic media filters can be run till clogged up, no time mileage since as said, the media does not degrade like cellulose and blend media.
At the time and mileage you are at, I would change the oil, but leave the filter on for at least one more 5000 mile interval (but is probably fine for 2-3 more)
My personal use would indicate otherwise (I just can't seem to make myself not change oil and filter together, although I do not use full synthetic media filters).
