I've not had any clutch slippage problems since switching to a full synthetic at 1000 miles and now have a little over 2500. As far as gear changes, my shifting seems to have gotten smoother, though I have no statistical/analytical data to prove less pressure is needed by my foot to engage my next gear.

Oil change frequency is a matter of debate and left mostly up to the owner. As long as you change it as often as recommended by the maintenance schedule, you should do no harm the engine and changing it more frequently might prove beneficial. I plan to change my oil every 3-5k miles now that my motor is fully broken in and I'm running a full synthetic.
