Actually the technology of lubricants improved from time to time including the life span of the oil itself. There's some reason why oil company will want to improve the life span of the oil. Car manufacturers work hand in hand with these oil company.
1. Increase OCI = reduce the amount of OCI needed. = reduced SC fill with cars waiting for OC = reduce wate pollutant....Amount of cars on the road is increasing faster than SC the longer the customer waits the more unhappy they are. Less oil change means less oil pollutants to the environment.
2. Oil company can hike up the price for the improved oil since it delivers longer lifespan customer will find it more economical. Less oil change = less labour paid as frequent visits to SC has reduce also less time wasted on waiting.
3. Reduce man power at SC, less workers are needed to cater to OC as SC won't be flock with tons of cars (but currently still is) Too much workers is also a burden to the service center as they need to pay salary also.
Just my 2 kupang.
i think 2 & 3 is the most company will do it... juz my 2 shell...
