Have used Mobil 1 since the mid 70's, when the advertised 25,000 mile changes on the can. I was used to changing conventional oil at 3000 miles and did not trust running oil that long. I had it anylized at 3-6 9-12,000 miles and the report said it was good for much more. I decided that once per year oil / filter change was about right for me and have done that ever since.
