I agree. Nonetheless, customers killing engines because they run them out of oil is much more wasteful.

I've done oil testing on my Yaris since it has an unusual/hard life and settled on 8000km for the oil I use. I might be able to stretch it to 10,000km but it is not worth the risk to save ~$15/yr.
