New CA law might require >10,000 mile oil changes in all state government fleet vehicles.
Requires by law all oil sold in the state be "certified by the oil maker" to be good for at least 10,000 miles in any engine, regardless of severity of duty.

I'd think any dexos1/2 oil would make it to to 10,000 miles without the engine exploding. Maybe California is headed for sales of only semi-syns or better! So is this a big deal? Some other discussions on bitog have touched on the subject of long life oils, specs, etc. for sure:

They are, based on the long life oil specs they both meet.
Of course, long life is not a blanket statement and relies on all kinds of stars to align.
