Thanks ...
Plenty of people will frown on following this schedule but I've put multiple Hondas past 300k with PP or M1 and these filters. I'm not sure how changing oil or filters more often would really bring any additional benefit for the extra time and cost.
If I read it right,180k miles for a 2015 is a TON of driving.
Did he mention somewhere in the video what kind of driving and what kind of oil the owner used?
He also showed clean bearing surfaces, but also showed that the two outermost cylinders were affected. He kind of breezed past the other two cylinders, which, if not gummed up, leads me to believe that a defect could be possible. Again, at 180k miles, a small defect begets more severe long term problems, eg, a small wear in the cylinder wall cross hatch could allow for blow by and a small amount of oil consumption. As the wear worsens, so too does the blow by and consumption. Issues like this compound, as well. The makeup oil might not have been added until the level was well below normal; not enough to cause excess e wear on the bearings, but enough to degrade the oil itself. So, the oil change interval is only relevant in THAT instance for those who don't check their oil often. Admittedly, that's a very large chunk of the population.
With that said, a very large chunk of the population pays someone else to do oil changes for them and almost never pop the hood. Those of us searching for deals on oil filters (a rare breed, indeed) likely pop the hood from time to time and check fluids and etc.
I also like how he tries to downplay oil analysis, saying something like, "they can't see this" and shows the gummed up oil control rings. That's such an incomplete bit of analysis it borders on fear-mongering. Fear mongering is a good thing for people who never pop the hood once over 10k miles between oil changes, but not people like me.
Summary: this is one data point on a very high mileage vehicle with a lot of unknowns; and none of this has to do with oil filters…
Oil changes should be based on the vehicle, engine condition, known issues, driving characteristics, oil choice and level of care.
I change the oil filter in my Subaru every ~20k miles (10K OCI) and don't burn an appreciable amount of oil. UOA shows good results.
As always, YMMV.

Here's a video from a Toyota mechanic detailing on why you shouldn't be listening to the manufacturers oil change recommendations.

Or he is one of those old crusty shade tree mechanics who knows the way it should be done circa 1978
