Assuming the trips aren't ridiculously short or you don't have massive fuel dilution, no problem. I did OCIs of that long with conventional in taxis in the 1980s.

You have to compare regular priced synthetics at the same store. In that regard, RP is priced between M1 and M1 EP. It just doesn't get rolled back the way the other brands do.
And I, personally, can get RP cheaper through one of my suppliers than many other products. Their price on 0w-40 by the quart is still about a twenty-five cents per quart cheaper than the Imperial Oil distributor.
If one wants to save the big bucks, though, one has to follow the rollbacks or hit the distributor. Buying RP isn't going to bankrupt anyone though, either.
