You should keep the good ideas coming.
In true BITOG logic you could, though most of us prefer to do a complete change...
I think you could. For mitigation, use a full synth, and a great oil filter (change filter every 6 months).... I'd also change it ALL out every 3 or 4 years to be sure.
Well a standard oil change is basically 5/6ths of the oil out every time, you really never get it ALL. so it shouldn't make a difference.
The problem is you're imagining black sludgy oil that you're changing and 1quart d/f isn't going to fix that.
Instead if you're really going 1quart/1000miles,
what you need to imagine is a perfectly almost clear dipstick and the quart you drain off looks almost identical to the quart you put in and brand new. Then the logic will match your imagination.
