Anyone using the new Mobil 1 extended service oil ?

It cost about $1 more per quart than the standard Mobil 1 and they claim you can go 15,000 miles between changes. I wouldn't go that long, but if it really works, it might be nice to change oil every 10,000 miles.

seems you'd still need to change the filter...

and with the location of the TT filter I'd hate to change that without draining the oil first, seems it would make a huge mess.

Per Mobil, filter just needs to be changed at oil change

From Mobil 1 site (link below):

Q: If I go longer between oil change intervals, do I need to change my oil filter more frequently? Or do I need a special filter?

A: Continue to change your oil filter when you change your engine oil. Special filters, or more frequent oil filter changes are not required.
However, Mobil 1 Oil Filters provide outstanding performance during longer oil change intervals. Mobil 1 Oil Filters are designed to offer excellent efficiency (remove more engine oil impurities) and high capacity (60 percent greater capacity than conventional oil filters), which make them ideal candidates for longer oil change intervals.<ul><li><a href="http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1_Extended_Performance_FAQs.aspx#FAQs1">Mobi l 1 Extended Performance FAQ</a></li></ul>
