So i've read countless oil threads on here and on Bob is the Oil Guy for people debating what oils to use. I'm due for a change. However, there was one big variable absolutely nobody mentioned and that was oil on high mileage VQs. I have 125K miles on my '11. All the threads were low mileage changes and analysis. Sooo, is there a consensus or data for oil on our cars with over 100k? You see the M1 high mileage marketed stuff and so forth.
I was planning on Euro Pennzoil platinum 5W30, as its apparently more robust, with slightly higher viscosity HTHS, than regular platinum 5w30, which i feel might be good at the higher miles .
Anyone else have blackstone labs or recs for oil at these miles?

checking my dipstick over last few thousand miles, it hasn't budged more than a milimeter, so i think i got a pretty healthy VQ, not using any oil for the miles
