Personally i hope to trade the car after 5-6 years and let some one else deal with the cars ultimate demise.

Did you measure cam lobe, and top of cyl bore? Or Just guessing. I just read on Jobbersworld Mobil-1 5W-30 does not even meet mineral oil Sm/GF-4 minimum spec for wear. Crazy huh?

This is a legal statement from ASHLAND CHEM CO, they are vunerable for libel charges and loss of buisiness if false. I have found qualitatively a batch to batch variation on mineral oils I like, varying from: "kill the motor piss " to "wow, this is better than ANY SYN IVE USED". So I believe the is absolutre crap on the shelves waiting for you to snatch up. If you have ever worked in manufacturing environmen, you will know what I mean. Crap goes out the door ALL the time not meeting spec. And us, being ignorant consumers are not too savvy and dont have a 10 million dollar test lab to verify the quality, so too bad mama ...

The last time I got an oil change, we used Motul and a tC filter from Toyota. It's larger and works just as fine as the stock.

Well its very easy to change the filter. If you want to extend your drain interval you can just simple go under the car and remove the filter and install a new one. You will only loose like a quarter of quart of oil at most.
