.... which means that your engine is not being properly protected by the oil and is wearing out rapidly.
Do understand that these high-miles service intervals are designed for the new car user on a fleet doing lots of (motorway) driving. Fleets are only interested in costs, not longevity.
As Andy has said, its cheaper to change the oil more frequently and your engine will last like its supposed to.
