It terrifies you because you forgot to read their fine print, that specifies “**not to exceed OEM recommendations” or something very similar…. Then, it’s not anything but underwhelming, because OEMs generally design their recommended OCI for Jane Average, who isn’t even 1% mechanically inclined. And Jane, in this instance, is gender-fluid IYKWIM.

The Canadian bottle of edge doesn't mention anything about manufacturer's OEM intervals. It took 4 screencaps to get the full front/back of the bottle.

Right, this is not going to trick me. I'm worried about someone who has no interest in automobiles besides getting them from point a to point b. There's legit no car out there that is going to recommend 25,000 OCI, so why put it on the bottle?
I'm not suggesting it's super shady or I think less of Castrol. I just don't like that this was the measure a couple of the oil companies are using to market their product.
I use Castrol Vecton in my diesel vehicle. It says on the oil drum: "Approved by MAN for up to 120,000 km and Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and Renault for up to 100,000 km in accordance with their specifications". So, not changing the oil in a car most people only own for a couple of years or for the warranty period shouldn't be surprising.
