no they use black cap Mobil 1 at the dealer. Same as the last oil change.

I'm thinking that the oil filter may have quit a bit sooner.
Probably safe to change the the oil for 10,000 miles (once a year) and change the oil filter every 5,000 miles or every six months. Changing the filter in between oil changes seems like the best option.

p.s.
I think my culprit was a dirty air filter and not the oil. I waited 10,000 miles too long. I think 15,000 miles as per the factory is pushing it to begin with.
