My uncle was a refinery manager for Amoco. He never changed oil, he said you did not need to.
He would add oil as needed and change filters each year. He typically kept his trucks until the upholstery wore out or some electrical issue developed. I do not know the mileage of all his trucks but his last Chevy V-8 had 175,000+ on it when he died and it was sold in the estate sale.
