I dont think I would myself without testing anyways.

So, is the point of going 15-20,000 miles just so you can say you did
that? No matter anyone’s thoughts about the price of Mobil 1, I think
we can all agree that it is cheaper than an engine. This thread has
demonstrated that people have an almost religious belief about the oils
they use in there cars. I suppose I am no different in that all I could
think was “Oh God! Why would someone go 20K on the same oil.”

Yup. I changed it anyway, but am getting close to another 10K. I'll
test before changing this time.
To corroborate Dave's statement - the oil analysis on my 300SDL
(287,000 miles) at 10,211 miles on Mobil1 indicated 0.5% soot. I'm
about to hit another 10k miles, and will get another analysis done. I
am VERY impressed with the cold starting of the engines with Mobil1 -
having used dino oil for 20 years and having to plug in the block
heater before switching.
