Anyway I will test my car and even if it brakes down i dont care i want to see for how long it will go without oil change. I strongly believe that the engine will run up to a milion miles with the same oil, full synthetic.
My belive is that the engine gets destroyed and wears out only if driven reclessly, inapropriate oil in the engine (worse than driving reclessly), low quality oil (mineral or half synthetic), if coolants leaks in the oil, bad air filter (clogged) needs to be cleaned with air pressure gun every 1000 miles (i do it often than that)(especially diesel engines need more air than gasoline engines)), and other things that will go out of normal operation like no coolant or bad fan so the engines overheats.

Well, dude, we've tried and tried to convince you to no avail. I hope your engine lasts forever, but I'm sure that it won't.
For me, the price of an oil and filter change every 10,000 miles pales in comparison to the cost of a new engine. So I'll continue to change my oil.
