Wonder if the OEM oil filter was designed for high mileage, like 10,000? That kinda bothered me about leaving oil in an engine for extended lengths. I presume that cars which come from manufacturers designed for extended use between changes, have filters for that purpose. (?)
Just another WAG...

I use Signature Series 0W-30 and I go 40,000 miles between oil changes. And I'm already at 342,000 miles on my S.
What are your oil filter change intervals? Surely not the same!

I bought a case of 10w 30 Signature series, Will Post pictures of my setup in the near future.
However, I'm still gonna do the 6 month oil change for now. Will be autocrossing/track driving, spirited driving the car alot.
Just gonna follow the recommended oil change intervals per owners manual.
The signature series is marketed to be 25k mile or 1 year.....so the 40000 mile oil change is pretty insane.
I wont ever make 25k miles a year...even my daily driver makes only 10k miles per year.
So if I were to push my Oil Change, it would be only to once per year if I were to follow recommendation of Honda owner's manual + Marketing of Amsoil.
Will do a Black Stone test next year.
