Theoretically you can leave it in for longer, 20k servicing so you manager only has t pay half as much labour for his fleet - but the thinner it gets being diluted with shit has a knock on effect where the cams wear out quicker...so more cost effective in the long run? Nope..... Swings and roundabouts really lol.
Exactly, most of these no maintenance or long life products are generally not what they have cracked up to be. Personally im much happier changing my oil and filters every 8k and regapping the plugs and knowing how healthy my engine is.
