The reason your not using oil is the viscosity is off the charts, likely around 16 csk.
Yes you can make any oil go 20,000 miles by adding additives, thats how a usable oil is made in the first place.
I am not a fan of long oil changes, even though my last change was at 27000 kilometers. I have a by pass filter and use the original hard to find zig zag pleated filters designed for 30,000 kilometers.
I know my oil needs help after it passes 12000 miles so I doctor it with disperants and antiwear additive by Renewable Lubricants. To keep viscosity down and increase my TBN, I also add ProLong.
But these are bandaids to keep the oil going.
The bad for a delayed oil change is increased start up wear due to lack of lubricity that anti-wears can not replace.
Do have any clue what your TBN is. I don't see a UOA to back up your opinions.
