The vehicle has been getting non-approved oil changes (conventional), probably to 0% on the OLM, on an engine that is tough on its oil.
I would run D1G2 oil to 5,000 miles, change the filter every oil change, and warn dad that due to previously using non-spec oil, you can't be responsible for excessive engine wear.
It's happened where the new maintenance guy has the new vehicle problem put on them, even family.

His OCI on conv. oil was every 3,000 miles old school. Never went by the OLM thank God. I have a bunch of Amsoil SS
0-20 for a couple of my vehicles but would rather not use it up on his plus it calls for 5-30.
