Within reason. Back in the '70s and '80s when Mobil 1 was advertising extended drain intervals, I'm sure I damaged two engines by blithely following them. I don't believe in extended drain intervals with any oil now, and if you're going to be changing at the recommended intervals, I don't believe there's any real advantage to using a synthetic oil unless you're operating in extreme Arctic cold.
