BMW uses a euro-spec synthetic in their engines. With today's engines, you can stretch oil change invertals.

I wonder if this problem exists in Japan? Do all those super bright, super intelligent 18-30 year olds in Japan have a problem following car makers lube, fluid and filter change recommendations? Or are they just like our own 18-30 years olds who are easily swayed by commercial interests into disregarding is advice of the car maker engineers?

My impression is that if the 18-30 years old in Japan are smart and self diciplined enough not to be swayed by drug dealing salespeople, then they would also likely be smart and self diciplined enough not to be swayed by specialty lube salespeople.

I personally do not know but I do not trust engineers 100%; since I am one and some are really good and some suck. And this is aerospace too!

If your "impression" is true, then they are doing better then “our young adults”.
