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.
Entirely possible. I run the 300v in our track car that was routinely seeing close to 300f oil temps during 30 min sessions the UOI came back without an issue. However we have lots and lots of 8100 series UOIs from our own testing and customers that at 5k mile OCI there is no discernible difference between the 300v and 8100 at 2x the cost.
