Exactly. The key in prolonging useful life of engine oil, the whole vehicle, or anything for that matter is to reduce, reused, and recycle.
- Reduce: drive less, only when necessary.
- Reuse: plan the trip, get to the the furthest stop first, then drive back with multiple stops, to reuse the already warmed up oil and other components.
- Recycle: replace wear parts to keep the whole car in optimal shape, by the least costly means.
