Given really good filtration, and good oil, you can definitely keep it longer. It's not always worth it though. It depends on how much longer you'd be able to run the oil before it is actually worn out. Diesels tend to dump more crap in the oil, but produce less acids, thus this type of system benefits them more. In addition, it takes a while to wear out 30+ quarts of oil.
