Being of an age to of adhered to 5000 mile services I too favour frequent oil changes. While I appreciate oils are better now than of yester year I have rebuilt enough engines to see the effect of degraded oil on bearing surfaces.
Given the possibility of diesel contamination by design of volvo engines why would you run oil till end of life at 18,000.

It's my car, it's my money maintains it and I'm a firm beliver in preventetive maintenance. The most beneficial thing you can do for an engine is keep the oil fresh.
