If your car is in good shape (PCV valve working, no coolant leak in the oil, clean air filter), then yes, most modern passenger cars can easily do 8,000-12,000km region, especially with synthetic oil.
I'm not making this up based on 'feelings' or what 'mechanics' have told me, it's based on the UOA's I've browsed on bobistheoilguy.com.
BTW, most 'synthetic' oils aren't really synthetic oils at all, but a highly refined form of conventional oil.
