I run 10W30 Mobile 1 in my 94 900SE V6 (107k). I change oil at 10,000, however I spin on a new Fram at 5,000. The thinking is that the syn oil won't break down for a long, long time, but the filter should pick up the junk. Seems to work well, and is a little easier to cost-justify the $4.50/qt, especially since I run 30k/year.
I got this idea from the owner of a small heavy duty truck fleet. He ran Mobil 1 in his Cummins and Detroit Deisel engines...and NEVER changed it! Just changed all his filters every 10,000k, topping off with fresh oil. These are extremely expensive engines, but he was getting 400k to 600k out of them, back when 3-500k was the norm between rebuilds.
Just another thought!
