Yes, sort of. With the right oil, coupled with really good filtration (air and oil), anyone can go 10k, and more.[/b]
I concur. I just received my oil analysis from Blackstone Labs. The oil went 10,915 miles with a filter change in the middle. I used Amsoil 5W-30 and their filter as well as the Amsoil oiled foam air filter. At the time of analysis, the engine had 66,945 on it. Up until 20K miles ago I used Valvoline 5W-30 and (shudder) Fram filters. Then I switched over to Mobil 1 for 6 months (~7200 mi) then went to the Amsoil set up. My uncle decided to get a dealership since he was buying it for his work and farm trucks, tractors, etc.

If anyone would like a scanned image of the report, just send me a request @ sheltot@netscape.net
