I just use OEM fluid even though I'm nearly at 170K miles, and I'm fine

Without independent proofof their claims, it's a gimmick.

My general recommendation:
Use the factory recommended oil weight and use a quality brand of oil filter (i.e.,not FRAM).
Change the oil regularly and make sure the engine has sufficient quantity of oil in between changes. Follow the recommended service intervals in the owner's manual.
