My old boss in Cincinnati told me to stop swapping the oil on my truck at 3,000 miles, and at 240,000 miles I owe him a steak

Back when I was 19 and working for a guy named Ray at a shop off Vine Street, he told me full synthetic was good for way longer than the sticker said. I ran my F-150 to 8,000 miles between changes like he said, and here I am at 240,000 on the original engine. Everyone I tell this to acts like I am committing a crime against my truck. What is the longest you have gone between oil changes without anything blowing up?
