Hell I find about 6oz of oil in my catch can every 3k miles, and im sure its not catching it all either. That would be my main concern.

I guess I am lucky then - went around 8k miles and burned less than a 1/4 quart of mobil 1 10w30!

Just cause it says its good for 15K dosnt necessarily mean thats what you should use it for. Once some oil analysis results start coming back, we'll all have a better idea of what this oil can and can not do.
BTW, the 5K stuff is conventional, the 7.5K is a blend, and the 15K is full synth.

I have 24k miles on my 2001 Z28 I bought new in 2001... so that's right around 6k a year. And that's counting the first couple of years when it was my daily driver. Now I'm putting less than 5k miles a year on it and it only comes out of the garage on sunny days.

Hasn't Amsoil been doing similar stuff for years. High mileage oil with a good filter that you change between oil changes?

The oil filters they use have a large filtering media, so they trap quite a bit of dirt... their filters are rated as 12.5k mile/6 month interval filters. But I would always change the filter whenever changing the oil... so with mine, I change my oil and the filter every 6 months. I use Amsoil XL 10w30 (5w30 in the winter) and an Amsoil SDF32 filter.
If you were using the Series 2000 0w30, I'd go with 1 year intervals (I doubt any of us drive 35k miles in less than a year's time) and change the oil filter at that time, unless you go over 12k miles before a year is up.

I put more than 6k miles on my T/A over the last two months!
