I tend to agree with this, at least the time part. I dunno about 10K on synthetic, but I'd certainly do 5K if I were not driving the car hard... 10K would be like 3 - 4 years for me.
Anyway, I put my car up around November right after an oil change, and in 6 months it's May and I have put like 1,000 miles on the car. Is my oil "used"? Not really. I change it anyway, because that's how Nissan says the car must be maintained, but if there were no warranty constraints I certainly would not.
