i think mobil 1 has an oil filter that lasts 10K...i don't know if i would want to test it to that extend regardless of their reccomendation.

Oh, well sorry I don't have the time to get you the research, but do some searching I'm sure you can find something.
In terms of VTEC, Honda pioneered their use in F1 motors and in a matter a few years they were available for purchase by the public in their cars. That I would say is something that doesn't usually happen in a mass sense and in such a short amount of time.
Also, in terms of testing the 15k miles, well, it's being tested every day as we speak. It seems to be working so I wouldn't worry about it. There are other manufacturers today that use lifetime tranny fluids and such, so it's not that huge of a deal, IMO.
