Yes, you can ...

The minimum we have in Europe on current cars is 15000 km - 9500 miles.
20 to 30000 km is quite normal here - that's 12500 to 19000 miles
My 1987 Honda Prelude needed a change every 7,500 miles, according to the manual, but everybody shouted that it was wrong and I was ruining my car for even thinking about it.

Honda does not know what they are doing?
