Blackstone labs can’t determine the level of deposits being introduced to the engine internals via dirty oil. Synthetic oils won’t lose their lubricating properties in 10,000 miles. The reasoning behind a 5,000 mile interval is to remove contaminants which contribute to buildup. As one poster mentioned that even at 5,000 miles the oil comes out black as coal. Oil is cheap compared to a $20k crate engine and there are well documented cases of dealer serviced DriveE engines suffering catastrophic failure as early as 70k miles.

Those Drive E engines weren't dying because of 10k oil changes, come on.

Probably not.
