I've been using Mobil 1 full syn since day 1 on my Lexus (plus previous cars as well). Until this year, I had been doing 10k mile oil change intervals; now on 8k intervals with 143k miles on the clock.

Our cars have/had 10k recommended oil changes in Canada so its not surprising the Idemitsu oil would be good for 10k miles. I have always used Mobil 1 but now I'm considering swapping to the Kirkland stuff. I have a lot of cases of Mobil 1 to go through first though. Idemitsu is over $7qt on Amazon while the Kirkland stuff is less than $3qt. There's nothing to gain to extend the oil change interval with those prices.
Definitely can't beat the Kirkland price! I think Amazon sells it more expensive in Canada, my last purchase I paid $18.99 for a gallon (4 quarts $4.74 a quart), it looks like they raised the price (doubled it) to $35 for a gallon of 5W30. I have 1 gallon left in my garage, I will buy the Kirkland after that is gone
