There is nothing special about oil in luxury cars. There is no reason it should cost more. The difference in price between 5 quarts of oil in my Audi S5 and my Jeep Wrangler is less than $3. People paying more are just getting scammed.

If you have to ask, it won't make a difference which one you pick.

Not to start a debate but what's your source for 5-6k intervals? Most conventional oils have been able to handle that with ease for decades now. Any synthetic should be able to handle 10k without issue. Blends fall somewhere in the middle of those two.

The issue isn't oil degradation. It will lubricate fine for it's stated lifetime.
The issue is the tiny particles that are suspended in the oil. They circulate through the engine potentially damaging it. Frequent oil changes flush out those particulates and is better for the engine. That's the popular theory amongst the car community right now.
I change mine every 3k miles. As the saying goes, oil is cheap, engines are not. I also drive a gdi turbo car.
But waiting 10k is probably fine. Especially if you're only keeping the car for 5 yrs or so.

Will probably go to 4000 mile interval on the RDX. Just bought Kirkland synthetic for that purpose, especially seeing the tiny filters Honda puts on their motors.
Search for Car Care Nut and Scotty Kilmer on YouTube and watch their videos. They recommend oil change every 5K or 6 months. They have videos showing proof of engine damage at 10K intervals.
The biggest thing with oil. Engines BURN oil, especially as they get passed 100k. Something like Mobil1 can go 5k easy BUT you need to check your oil at 3k 3.5k 4k etc.

I know what I'm talking about my guy. There is a difference. You are paying for the labor. Luxury cars have additional clips/panels you have to remove in order to get to the drain plug and oil filter.
Oil change procedure on a Rav4 is not the same as on a Lamborghini Urus
