the rated kms for the oil maybe written for an engine that runs 2 oil filters, 3 extra efficient air filters, a preheating system and a 20 litre sump capacity and is run in ideal conditions all day long.
Thats why the manufacturer of the engine is followed and not the blender of the oil unless you are doing used oil analysis on given intervals.
e.g. lets take a honda cd70, should a user pour 0.7 litre of this oil and use it till 12,000 kms?
