Keep the oil, just change the filter at 3000 miles.
As for OP? The highest mile vehicles I have ever seen were a 1995 Cadillac with a 5.7 LT1 (780k KMS - 484k miles) and a 1992 GM Astro van with 575k kms (357k miles). Neither of those are what you would think would be at the top of the heap for longevity, so it just goes to show that maintenance and lack of abuse will get you a good return. Though if I had to pick something that would have to last me the rest of my life, hoping it wouldn't break? I'd say mid-'80s diesel Mercedes with a manual trans. If you kill one of those, you had to be trying hard to do it.
