Highest milege VR6 engine

I think that you are throwing away good oil at 5000 km, if less than 12 months. The additives and base oil are able to provide protection for much longer than that.

You're disregarding the fact that its a VR6, the heat in that engine bay shortens the life of almost every consumable. Its more than worth changing the oil every 5,000 on these cars.
