You're ahead of where Kendall was in 1928. Problem is, this is 2017.

Not sure why this is even a question. Honda has done 15k on filters since at least the 90s, and even my 04 Saab was qualified to do 16k OCIs.

Well the 2000 mile oil change was the gospel according to the dealer when the family bought our Volvo PV544. But what did he know when that car left the family 300 and some K miles later it was using a quarter of a quart between changes. Back in the day when you could get Valvoline 30 wt on sale for about .45 or less.
