I would have to agree, as I think I was unfortunate enough to experience the consequence that one risks using 20,000 KM ( 12.5k miles) oil change intervals. Even when only using good quality ACEA A3 B3/B4 fully synthetic oil (Mobil1 0W-40 or 5W-50).
After 311,000 KMs a con rod bearing failed and I replaced the engine with a less used one. I now change the oil and filter every 10,000 KMs...
Of course, you could say that 311k KMs without needing an overhaul is pretty good for an engine, and it is, but we know that the bottom end of the Saab B204 and B234 engines are capable of going much further...
