Go 10k miles and tell me what Subaru/Toyota say when you ask for warranty engine work.
Considering they dropped it down to 6k for normal driving..changing it under extreme conditions 1k miles early doesn't seem that crazy.

All synthetic oils are that good now. Read BobTheOilguy forums. Everyone on there that just tops off and checks oil regularly then goes and gets Blackstone analysis and their labs always say you can go 9K, 10K miles on your oil.

Sure you can go with lower intervals but it's only your money and time you're pissing away.
Plus the low intervals were due to drivers that never go under the hood or never even check their air.
Also, we all invalidated our warranties through modding and racing:
