As for oil brands --- each to his own. I think any name brand is ok.
I work in a fleet shop and have used the cheapest oil that is bid out.
We change at 3000 miles and most of our vehicles go 2 and 3 hundred thousand miles without any engine problems. Now that's on the least expensive 5w30 oil that we can find.

Double the oil change interval on one or two of your fleet vehicles and see if there is any noticeable difference after 250k.if no difference tell your boss you have a great way of saving the company some money and its also good for the environment.
