What oil filter are you planning to use? 10k on Dino is feasible (depending on the engine's notoriety of cleanliness or not) if you use a good oil filter. But I wouldn't do it with a standard tier filter. I'd recommend a synthetic oil filter, like Wix XP, Fram Ultra, STP XL, M1, RP, or Puro Boss. I definitely wouldn't run a standard AC Delco to 10k, regardless of the type of oil.
I have been using the delco filters. The 52 which is a little longer than the 47. (I think I got my numbers right) Any way I did cut one open and it look okay after 10k miles. I average about 6 months per 10k miles.
You know AC Delco makes a synthetic version of the PF52?

I know many folks have gone with long OCI's using standard filters like MC and ACD, etc... But I just couldn't sleep at night going 10k on a standard filter.
