As far as oil goes, the average engine is going to be far better served by changing a less expensive oil more frequently then a more expensive oil less frequently as long as the oil meets the API specification required by the car manufacturer. My current daily driver gets Supertech or Providence full syn every 4-5k miles. Previous daily was a 2006 E350 van which had 302k on the odo before being side swiped and totaled following a similar service schedule. Oil is cheap, engines are not.
I use Super tech synthetic and change at 10K. My car now at 140K and burn about 20% when I change, its normal.
I use Mobil One 5w20 and my two cars are at 219K and 231K. Change every 8-9K - depends on my availability and weather. No burning oil. One has a slight leak, but nothing lost to burning.

Eh I'll stick to generic super tech being good enough for my engines and $1/qt less!
