Why is there a miles and time limit with respect to oil change intervals?

Answer: No matter how well motor oil is formulated, it won’t last forever. As the miles accumulate, motor oil begins to degrade and lose its lubricating effectiveness, while the additives are depleted. Severe-service driving conditions accelerate this process. Even with little mileage on the oil, oxidation, gases and moisture take their toll and start the degradation process, making it necessary to set both a mileage and time limit with oil change intervals. Motor oil and vehicle manufacturers have developed general recommendations for the maximum amount of time or miles that the oil can be used; typically these intervals fall between 3,000 and 7,500 miles, depending on the type of service.

Many AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are specially formulated for extended drain intervals, providing maximum protection longer than other oils. Check the product data sheet for specific recommendations.

I agree that motor oil could not last forever and hence needs to be replaced after certain time interval. Motor oil plays very important role by creating thin films between two adjacent components of the engine and hence provides friction-less surrounding for the engine components and degrades in time. So, motor oil needs to be inspected at a regular interval and if necessary should be replaced with suitable alternatives. Synthetic motor oil last comparatively longer time than traditional oil.
