How long do you plan to keep your car(s) ? 200k miles ? Or 300k miles ? Or longer ?
My 21 years old Lexus LS400 with 37xk miles has original engine with original valve cover gasket, no work inside the engine was ever needed.
The OCI of that car is 8-9k/6mo with dino(various brands) and 15-18k/12mo with synthetic(again various brands), various brands low to mid-price oil filter was changed once a year(reused with dino oil).
I slept well knowing I didn't spend more than I need to keep the engine running well.
