I'm curious, what evidence is there that clean oil increases wear over dirty oil? I can see 15,000 and 30,000 mile oil change intervals if you are running a bypass filter to filter the dirt out. High flow oil filters with internal bypass are not up to the job. In my opinion, with the new oils breakdown is not the problem but suspended micro particles are wearing down the internals of an engine. I will continue with short change intervals on my older Cummins. I figure that if dirty oil is superior to clean oil then Ram would ship their new trucks with dirty oil.
I'm only speculating here, but I suspect this has nothing to do with dirty or clean oil and more to do with the extra wear associated with starting an engine after an oil change.
