the high mileage oils seem to be best suited not when you cannot maintain specified oil pressures over the operating range but have excessive consumption. i have never seen these products help with oil consumption on a consistent basis outside of worn oil control rings.
are your pressures correct at all times and is your oil consumption reasonable? if both are yes, including a quart or so every 3000 US miles, continue to use normal specified oils.
better filters have a definite benefit and many manufacturers actually specify them to be replaced every other oil change, such as my 2008 Honda. purchase a good one with a glass core and there is no problem keeping it on every other change for a nice savings. abrasive grit from improper air filtering, air leaks and dirt in the oil from all causes is more of a problem than old or standard oil.
