I have 12k miles on my 2013 FR-S and I've been changing the oil every 6-10 months with Eneos 0w-20 (non Sustina). I use it primarly for commuting, with the occasional extremely spirited sustained high RPM blast through the canyons on the weekends. I should probably do a UOA...
My commute is about 5 miles and my oil is 190 F or so before I even park. This is according to the OFT btw. I tend to go for spirited drives though on the weekend to get tne oil hot about ~240 F
