5W30 oil only needs change every 30.000km?

Hi

I have a 2004 with now 104.000 km.

Last time I had an oil change was at 92.000km.

I went today to an oil change place (not a garage) and as soon as he saw that I had 5W30 oil he recommended that I only change oil circa every 30.000 km.

 

This is a new schedule to me, has any of you guys heard anything similar?

 

In the US servicing guide I believe I read that the service intervals for the premium service plans is every 6.000 km/3750 miles and it states to replace the engine oil and filter every time.

 

Am I the only one who finds this inconsistency strange.

 

I was just trying to take care of my car and now I am all confused.

 

When the oil change guy checked the oil level it was perfectly in the middle in between H and L so in the 12.000 km I have driven since the last oil change it has not used much oil so I am not too worried.

 

So have any of you guys heard of only changing 5W30 every 30.000 kms?
