It's entirely worth the money and really wakes up the car. I bought their BF deal they had for my Sonic 1.4T. It was 100 dollars off so I paid 298 for the Elite version. Huge increase in mid-range power. The cruise on/off button system works as advertised and the difference is very noticeable...

You are generalizing it too much. A lot of other factors go into an OCI than just engine size. Sump amount I could be being a larger deal then engine size. My Sentra's SR20 is a 3.5 qt sump and the merc's I6 is 8.5 qt using just that logic. I should be changing my Sentra's oil on a 2.5 times...
