wanted to check something with experts here

this is the spec sheet of the engine oil I've been using in my Picanto since new (5 years+ now)

https://total-cdn-lmdb.afineo.io/ORIGINALS/....pdf?1656677049

just found out in the spec sheet recently it mentioned this

QUOTE
Long drain interval : Allows long drain intervals (30000km) thanks to an excellent resistance to oxidation.


I'm no expert in EO but I know typically fully sync oil change interval is 10k km / 6 months whichever come first, which is what I'm following as well since its set by the SC

is 30k km really possible? or is this under perfect conditions only? seems a bit extreme to me. Probably the engine oil filter would give up first

also another thing is so far i've never done 10k km within 6 months, at most is only 5 - 6k km. but still I would change the EO every 6 months.... can I change to a 12 month interval instead?

Yes very possible
Info and my UOA of AMSOIL signature series on first page

You can consider annual oil changes

But then it still depends on the oil filter right? I think at most 15k km need to change already?
