IMO, Motul 300V could easily handle 6-7,500 mile intervals under most conditions. There are actually a few uoa's on it in this forum. When it was reformulated a couple (?) of years ago, they said they were aiming for more track and less street but the detergent/dispersant package is still pretty decent for typical 86 intervals.
And don't forget about Motul 0W-20 Eco-lite. Unlike turbocharged Subaru's, the n/a FA20 seems to be doing fine on thinner 0W-20's. Toyota even offers a TRD 0W-20 in New Zealand. Even some forced induction/tracked applications are running Red Line 0W-20 (of course, not your every day 0W-20). In general, the uoa's here have had a few comments about elevated copper, but most of the cars don't have that many miles on them yet (less than 18k).
And Motul still claims "ester based" on the Eco-lite as well and it's a mid-SAPS oil.
PQIA just tested another batch of conventional 5W-20's. I really wish they would test some synthetic 0/5W-20's.
Ok, I think we've covered 14 different topics which is the requirement for all oil threads.
