You're wasting your money on synthetic oil changed at 25km. The oil is good for at least double that. Replace the oil filter, then get an oil sample kit done - mail the sample in.
I agree with you in that I could likely run the oil twice as long. However, changing my oil at 50k km intervals might end up costing me more on the resale value of my truck than it saves me on maintenance. I will likely sell my truck by 150k km. Saving 3 oil changes over that period of time only amounts to about $250.
