What do you guys think of Mobil 1's new 5k, 7500 and 15k mile extended life synthetic oils?

why would you change your oil off schedule? its covered by your service and not really needed until 12k or 1 year...

[/quote]For me Because I plan on keeping the car for a while and flushing the new engine metal particles out of it is important to me. And I dont like 15K mile changes... I'll do it once in between and then let the dealer do the schedule one. One oil change will not kill my wallet. Its $80 I am willing to spend.
If I leased the car hell... I dont care I'll change it at 30K miles for all I care.
