He's negotiating. Non-chalantly inform him that if he doesn't buy it, someone else will. Then walk away.

Some engines demand that low mile/time OCI with full synthetic to keep the engine clean, extend it out to 5K and you may have a sludge or excess varnish issue.
I don't think your engine meets any of the criteria for one of these engines but there is absolutely nothing wrong with what are doing.
Timing chain wear on those long chains (less) and varnish free hydraulically operated components are just some of the benefits of a shorter a OCI an can save a lot of money in the long run.

The internet is full of cranks , I wouldn't give it any thought.

This.... My 08 King Ranch will get the white paste in the winter if I short trip it. Nothing to worry about

My wife has a 2008 Escape V6 she drives 1 miles to work now, before we moved a year ago she drove 3 miles one way
With the oil cap off the gear chain and two rocker arms that I can see is still shiny new no sludge no varnish
QS 5/20 for every oil change
