ABSOLUTELY.
everyone and their little brother can use the OLM to change their oil and save the planet... but I will change my oil when I see fit to do so, and my cars will run better because of it.
and our cars that only travel 200-500miles per year all get annual oil changes, whether they need it or not is irrelevant

Any of the scenarios you are referring to could happen if you changed your oil every 500 miles. There is ZERO proof that your car will run better because you change your oil every 3000-5000 miles.
