I personally know an Amsoil distributor that has gone over 50K with the same oil in his car.. (an old mini-van). The catch is that he changes the oil filter every ~6 months. But he's sent the oil in for analysis each time and it comes back as good. So it sounds like the oil itself can last the 25k.
Personally, I use Mobil 1 5w30 and change it every ~5000 miles or 6 months whichever is sooner. I do use an Amsoil oil filter though since Mobil 1 filters are kindof hard to find.

I used amsoil, but switched to mobil 1, since to me there isn't a difference and you can go 10K on both.
It's great on my wallet too, since M1 is $19 for 5 qts. and Amsoil is $5-7 a quart.
Unless you invest in an expensive bypass filtration setup, you'll never achieve 25K on one fill.
check this synthetic oil life study.

Well, thanks for the advise. I thought same thing about 25000 interval. But surprised that last that long... and better than mobile 1. I might try that one next oil change. should I? or stay with Mobile 1?

Maybe the 2003 TL-S doesn't work with the SDF-44? Haha, that'd be funny.
