What is the opinion on here regarding using "High Mileage" Oil blends?

I have been using Mobil 1 Full Synthetic on my 2016 F150 since I got it and now that I have 98k miles on it, I have noticed that Mobil 1 has a full synthetic for vehicles above 85k miles. Is there any additional protection and benefit in those blends or should I just stick with what I have been using?

Additionally, any thoughts on Kirkland brand oil? With a lot of their products it is actually named brand production with a different wrapper. A quick internet search shows that it comes from Warren Distribution and not one of the bigger oil companies.

I'm pretty sure SuperTech = Kirkland so the video is valid.

I've been using Kirkland full synthetic in a fleet of Ford transit vans , Both NA and ecoboost for about 4 years now. These vans get oil changes every 3-5'weeks. Zero issues. It's a warren distribution product and as others have said, is a quality oil.

I will be using it when my powerboost is due for its first change soon. GFs 23 Tahoe will also get it when it's due for its first change.

I ran SuperTech in the work beater until it was discontinued. Now I run Kirkland. 5K miles on each service, which is once a month.

What kind of miles are you guys cranking out in those 3-5 weeks?

They run two 8 hour shifts per day. 5-7k miles. One of the drivers goes to Louisiana every night. And then that van does houston hot shot in the daytime.
