Conventional oil?
The is a guy on YouTube (The oil guy?) who does some deep tests on oils and he was impressed with the Valvoline Restore and Protect performance. The oil isn't much of a factor as long as you change is AT LEAST every 5k (3-4k for lots of stop and go driving) if you want your engine to last beyond 200k miles. Every 10k and your cylinders will get worm from debris 170k-220k (watch a few The Car Car Nut replacing engine blocks from is). The oil can last 10k, but debris will cause the wear.

All that said, I have returned to 5k OCIs on the IS F and have always done 5k on the GS F because I intend to keep these cars a very long time and I don't baby them when I drive them except to make sure they don't get hard use before the oil is warmed up.
