Cost you money (labour) and time (much better things to do). Unless you take it as a hobby to diy.
The oil may be dirty at change of 10K, but still functioning.

To me, the feeling of fresh engine oil always makes my ride more smooth n nice, I don't know do you feel that way.
5K or 3 month to spend abt SGD50 to have that feel..I think it quite ok...55cents per day?

If oil can last >6mths in sloshing around the engine at high temperatures, it can certainly last >6mths at room temperature in a sealed bottle.

Of course you can use opened engine oil, even if the bottle has been left opened for 10 years.
The main concern is whether opened oil still serves its purpose - its additives would be oxidised and deemed not as efficient in protecting your engine.

I would like to diy and change every 5000 also.... but I don't know what to do with the waste oil leh. Anyone here can advise? Throwing down the rubbish chute is not the option I am looking for.

Used engine oil can be used to give the plastics in your engine compartment that shine.
After I use tissue to wife off the engine oil and gear box oil from the dip stick, I use eth tissue to wipe the plastics and it shines and darkens the plastics!
