Now they are paying (at least in the US), they use longer-lasting products and change them less frequently.
It's also worth noting that in the UK - where the customer is still paying - they specify the long lasting stuff and recommend 15k miles or two years for change intervals.
Thats for road use only mind and the climate is less extreme (plus the fuel quality is better...)

Yeah that's true, but I think 15k miles is way too long for an oil change, which could be why BMWs fail so often. I personally do it every 5k km, but it ends up being every 2-3k km because I don't drive it enough every year to hit 5k.
