As stated above, you have to have the oil tested to make sure that it is safe to run for that long. Depending on operational conditions, oils can last a long time to as short as 1K. It all is dependant on conditions, both engine and environmenal.

Sorry that isn't the answer your looking for, but it is the best answer that can be given. You can't just make a blanket statement and say that a fully synthetic oil with a heavy additive package WILL last 50K. It needs to be verified through oil analysis at 10K, 20K, and so on. That way you will know just how long that particular oil will go in your application.

Each oil will be different as well, so decide on a brand that has specifics that you think will do well, then go from there.
