Default Used to once every 25,000 miles on old car, S4 is still under warranty so I can't extend interval

Haven't decided whether I'll extend the interval after warranty is up. My old car was a 1990 Geo Storm GSI. It's still running today with 240,000 miles on it, completely original (other than new alternator at 30,000). My dad still drives it 150 miles every day. Warranty ran out at 36,000 so I slapped an Amsoil bypass filter system on it (big f*cker with 2 filters on it). Changed oil every 25,000 miles after that, change both filters every 12,500 miles. Amsoil claims it can go to 100,000 miles but you need to send in the oil. Before that, my parents had a 1980 Cadillac, that thing almost went to 250,000 miles with amsoil changed every 25,000. Original engine till they got rid of it. Other cars over the years on Amsoil - 1976 Toyota pick-up 268,000m miles, 1991 Ford Explorer 211,000m, 1973 VW Squareback 250,000m, Best story = 1976 VW Squareback engine threw a rod and still drove 100 miles on 2 cylinders, no oil, back to town. Would like to try that on organic oil!
