How would OE oil change intervals have anything to do with valve stem seals? Are the valve guides trashed (meaning it isn't a valve seal problem) or are the rings shot? Both of those are at least related to lubrication. But given the number of vehicles exhibiting valve seal issues, both seem unlikely.
