Will this combo work well for a 10,000 mile OCI? I am going to start changing my mom's oil (2007 Toyota Highlander V6). Thanks in advance for all of your feedback!

Well that is a tough one, I would do a UOA @6k to see where you could go from there if you want a serious approach. Edge has a higher TBN, and I'm not sure how that V6 is on oil so I wouls get a UOA it will tell you the health of the engine (to an extent) and give you a chance to save $$ in the long run possibly. Who kows you may be able to do 12K...

No, I believe she has been getting her oil changed with standard conventional oil.

Why would it be a problem to switch to full synthetic now and adopt and 10K OCI?

BTW...her vehicle has 60,000 miles on it....

because supposedly the conventional oil will leave behind dirtier engine internals.

In 98% of applications, yes.

You don't know my mom....she is a VERY busy person. The fewer times she has to bring it to me for an oil change...the happier she will be.
