Relative to your comment about regular drain intervals for warranty purposes. I am not sure what your owner's manual says but it likely recommends a 7500 mile drain interval. At 7500 mile intervals Amsoil is just as economical in terms of $$/mile to use as most any oil. I believe Bill's oil analysis results are also demonstarting that in most instances Amsoil is as good after 7500 miles as any petro oil is when new (aside being a little black).
Why not then use the best and run it to the maximum recommended drain interval that the manual suggests?
Amsoil argues that with extended drains and oil analysis results, the manufacturer cannot void the warranty. I probably would not take that chance if I had a car under warranty as who wants to fight over crap like that. I would use Amsoil though, keep records of when it was changed, and take it to the limit of the manufacturer's recommendation.
The point is, everyone can take advantage of arguably the best oil available, economically and within manufacturer's warrnaty recommendations.
