I've always said this. If I don't accrue enough miles, I'll go 1.5 years on synth. I could see stretching to 2 years, for under 4k miles. IIRC, my 06 cayman S specified 2-year intervals. I also see no reason to dump gallons of still OK oil back out into the world. Come to think of it, I'm not sure where those go, something to google.

All that said, during my e46 m3 search a decade ago, I came upon a car that was Imola, pristine with 14k miles or so and local-ish. The catch? This 05 or 06 car, had its break-in change and then again a change in 2012 at 12k miles (roughly). I was like "How is this ok?". Seller got testy and said this is what the car's computer told him to do. Later ended up at that overpriced Ohio m3 seller, selling for big money...
