There's a couple reasons for the long service interval.

1. it's politically-correct
2. 3000-mile service intervals are kind of silly with modern tech
3. These engines have a "dry-sump" setup so the oil doesn't sit in a grimy oil pan, collecting crap.
4. Nine quarts of oil can dilute a lot of crap.

I change my oil every 10,000 anyhow.
