How I arrived at this number? Take a used oil sample and they will tell you how "worn out" it is. Blackstone Laboratories is a good one. They will tell you how wore out it is and how far you can stretch the interval.
I keep thinking I'll do that but I haven't yet. I go 7000 on synthetic in the Bimmer.
