Valvoline and Pennzoil, both part of the quick lube market (Jiffy/VIOC), have always been conservative on drain intervals.

Blather aimed at making money. That and I'd bet the majority of their customers put off oil changes, so the 3k conventional OCI will frequently be 5k.

fleet ran 6K intervals on Valvoline/M1 EP HM oils in industrial heavy duty service without an issue.

If I manufactured toothbrushes, I'd recommend a new one weekly.

I would pay 2x as much for one that lasts a month …
Now, if there is “help on the way” with mandates … we won’t be able to afford toothpaste so the deal comes tumbling down …

Yeah, seems an oil maker calling it synthetic should be able to go the distance that an OEM approval calls for … (that it carries)

I will say that I always change my oil at 5000 mi or 6 mo, which ever comes first and I typically use a name brand synthetic like Valvoline, Pennzoil, or Mobil. I know this is probably overkill, but I am not coming down to 4 months any time soon.

Everything 2X because today’s oils are much better than 25 years ago.
