Point taken. It's probably a CYA move since uoa's with track time show that any grade 300V can handle 6-8k miles oci's with no problem.

Similar to the CYA move by Amsoil advising to stick with SoA's oil change interval recommendation on all turbocharged Subaru's after a knucklehead Legacy GT owner ran a 25k mile OCI as advised by his knucklehead Amsoil dealer.
