I even changed mine every 1500 miles as I would see temperatures of 240+ sustained on mountain runs. Keep in mind that the GT-R is designed for track usage...well, moreso than the 370.
If you want to drive 7500 miles at higher temps between oil changes, more power to you. Me, i will opt to protect my engine...especially since it will be twin turbo'ed soon. Massive AE Performance oil cooler will be first modification.

We're discussing routine oil changes for normal vehicle operation - not tracking. Obviously you can't digest what the current API SM specification standard is. This is 2010 not 1970. There have been technological advances not only in engine design but also in lubricants. If you want to resist change that's fine. But don't come in here espousing that oil if not changed prior to 7500 miles will cause pre-mature failure. Because that is what you are insinuating which is BS. So, for you, I'll return the same courtesy
