I have used it on my Nissan Versa Note. Nissan wants a 3750 mile OCI for severe driving conditions. Well I am equating those conditions to our local stop, go, dusty streets driving. I have used Supertech synthetic 5w30 and changed it out at 3000 miles. I don't do the other 750 miles because it is just simpler to do it at 3000. I don't use an expensive filter so things stay pretty cheap doing my own oil changes. Three 5 quart jugs can do 4 oil changes with as small a sump my vehicle has. Being small as it is I do want to change the oil out regular like Nissan has required.
 
I use ST 5w-30 synthetic in our 98 F-150 and change it at around 5,000 miles. It has about 210,000 miles and still going strong.
 
I'm probably going to run 5K or 6K on my Jeep with ST 10w-30 synthetic. My Jeep gets used like a Jeep, though. Towing (750 miles so far this OCI has been towing) and off roading trips where it's idling or running all day. It doesn't see commuter duty any more.

I believe I am at 3000 miles since May.
 
I did a test back in '08 with ST Syn, it did perfectly fine @ 5000 miles 90% highway, and could have gone further. YMMV, but I'd say at least 5k and maybe more based on your UOA. It's a decent oil, made by Warren.
 
My buddy did 18,000 miles on his old Chrysler minivan (85) with no repercussions. But he probably added 5 quarts getting there. That engine was so quiet you could barely hear it running.
