Synthetic oil will go the distance with no problem. No OEM is going to make that claim unless it's a fact. They are responsible for the warranty, after all.

All bets are off if you're racing it.
I am not doubting you, but I like the added peace of mind changing every 3k miles even with Mobil 1. These timing chains make me nervous.
