But what if you actually WANT to go 2yrs/10k miles between oil changes? Would you feel comfortable using 4L of anyone's 5W-30 semi syn in your turbocharged engine?
Other than the more expensive time/cost/waste commitment involved with 5k mi OCIs (we now have three Saabs at our home), I agree that your regimen will suffice for most car owners today. Except for those of us crazy enough to constantly post missives on web BBs, I don't personally know anyone who wants to keep their vehicle anywhere close to 250k miles.
I'm comfortable running 10k mi OCIs in the turbo, & have just started my first 20k mi OCIs in the two NA Saabs. No time limits on any of them. And only ACEA A3 rated, PAO full syn in all of them.
