Mobil-1 Extended Performance 15K

Since last year I have been using Mobil-1 Extended Performance 15K miles, 5W30 oil in my van. The bottle says it is guaranteed that the oil will not break down within 15K or 1 year which ever come first.
Like to hear some opinions about after how many miles the oil should be changed. I have been doing mine between 8K and 9K. As the oil come out, I feel it in my fingers and it seems quite slippery still.

I just started using Mobil EP 5w-30 @60k and plan on changing it at 70k. This is the first oil change I've done using this oil since the auto store was out of Mobil 1 5w-30 and only had this one available, I was a little skeptical about the 15k so I planned on changing it at 10k mi. I too would like to hear others opinion on this, thanks for bringing it up.

Check out the www.machinerylubrication.com web site. This site has some very good information pertaining to synthetics and so on. I would at least change the filter during this extended oil change. I would also send oil samples to a lab during and after the long duration.
