Bullseye oxi moron.
Personally I would never run past 10k.
Not due to oil,but the oil filter quality/ limitations.
Cheap materials, filtering capabilities.
A lot of oil filters are not built for that type of use.
Why do you come to a site sponsored by Shell?
Very decent people work for energy companies ... check with major charities

It isn't any more or less ethical than marketing a 3000-mile OCI

Because it says in the fine print to "follow OEM recommended intervals during warranty period" or something along those lines. It also preys on gullible individuals that don't know squat about oil, but, that's their problem for not doing research is the way I see it! It's 2018, and with the world of knowledge literally at our fingertips, there's no reason people shouldn't be able to figure almost anything out.

By saying the ethics of oil companies.
Was meaning how the oil companies behaved after tragic accidents.
Oil company upper management.
Never mentioned the employees.
Exxon/Mobil The Valdez Oil Spill.
BP/Castrol Deepwater Oil rig.
Look how ethically the companies reacted.
Do you think the company would honor a warranty claim on $30 - $50 5 qt jug of oil ?
As far as the site being sponsored by Shell.
That doesn't bother me at all.
