Came across this test, it's pretty interesting information and comparisons even though it's split between two engines and a lab environment these motors reached 500k and one being on conventional oil on 10k intervals it still very impressive to say the least.

I saw that pop up on youtube but didn't realize it was a 2.3.
Pretty neat test
 
It's quite remarkable the turbo lasted even 200k on the conventional oil and even with the replacement side by side comparisons from the turbine with 500k looked new in comparison proves the importance of using full synthetic on turbo engines. In a real world use case I am sure the conventional engine would have lasted no more than 200k at this interval but still proves how far oil and engine manufacturing has come.
I wonder how they ran it. Was it just a 2000 RPM or did they have something putting a load off and on.
