Someone is going to misquote the Ford study SAE 2003-01-3119.
This is a gross miss-representation of what SAE Technical Paper 2003-01-3119
determined. The title of the paper is - "Antiwear Performance of Low
Phosphorus Engine Oils on Tappet Inserts in Motored Sliding Valvetrain Test"
The test was a pure wear test using externally driven valve train
components. A complete engine was not involved. There was no dilution of the
oil by blow-by, no combustion products added to the oil, and no water added
to the oil. The results might matter if you are building a sealed machine
driven by an electric motor, but trying to claim this paper is a basis for
extending oil change intervals is not reasonable. Jekyl

Probably for those that don't put oil in the filter. Start the motor and you'll get a few seconds of engine noise.

I always liked the rule..... N/A engines 20-25 and Blower Engines 10-15hrs. You always get some fuel forced and wash the Pistons on blower motors, you don't want fuel diluted oil.
