European cars have very long OCIs of about 15k miles. On BMW forums enthusiasts are always saying BMW just wants to reduce maintenance costs, that they just want your car to get through warranty period and fail afterwards, and say that their OCI is "wrong". Domestic and Asian cars on the other hand have short OCIs.
Am I right in thinking that Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc. spec long OCIs because they want your car to fail after warranty period? On the other hand Ford, GM, Honda, Kia, etc. spec short OCIs because they care about you, are looking out after you, and want your car to last as long as possible?
