That works out at about 3 or 4 months usage for me during the spring and summer, a bit longer during the autumn and winter. Mind you most of it is trogging up and down the motorway to work so not exactly high stress mileage. Personally I always change the oil and filter together. A filter is only a fiver so why scrimp.
Use fully synthetic oil and change at 10,000 km (6000 mile) intervals, especially since you ride like you said you do. Just make sure you use a new oil filter each time.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
