Yes, the sump is bigger and that does make a difference. I question why you think our motors run "cleaner"!!!. Why do you say that?

My BMW has a 7 qt sump and the mileage minder never exceeds 11K miles or so.

I am still doubting 20K and moreover, why would you risk premature wear to prove the factory correct?
