You are absolutely correct. You addressed this issue. I read your post
too fast.

So is that M1 15k (Guaranteed!) mile stuff really good for 15k miles? I
put some in my Suburban, it is at maybe 10k miles now and I am getting a
bit noodgy about it. I guess I should trust it, but all this oil talk
has got me paranoid.

I'd tend to agree with this in terms of a good gas engine. However, from
what I hear 10K seems to be the safer limit for old diesels that seem to
contaminate the oil...

I got tired of trying to find M-1. I just went back to Delo 400.
Even with the extended M-1 I would never go 15k on an oil change. Call me
old fashion but I used to change at 2000 miles,
then moved to 3000 miles and after many oil samples, I have finally decided
on 5000 mile changes,
I might switch to Delvac 1300 Super at the next change - cheaper, can't tell
the difference, and I change oil every 3-5K or else i get nervous.

filters ability to handle these extended runs. ie it fills up with stuff. I
go 6 to 7K on my 1979 240D used to go 10K but figured the filters may be
limited. This is with 15/50 Mobil 1. That is
