I'm sure it is but its just one of those advertising gimmicks to get people to buy there oil. Personally I know I would lose at least one receipt for an oil change over a 300,000 mile period. I'm sure if your missing even one receipt they will void the warranty. Its just like dealing with the a dealer you do anything to the car warranty void, you don't have proof of all oil changes warranty void.

best and easiest thing to do is to get an envelope and put all your receipts in the envelope and stick it in the glove box or if you have a safe or a file cabinet put it in there.
as far as it goes it's pretty damn good oil too. i used the max life semi synthetic on my old monte carlo and on the first change from conventional to the max life i noticed the valve tick was virtually gone while using the same weight oil that i had always been using. and realistically i was using valvoline conventional to begin with.

I'm also guessing that most people don't keep a vehicle long enough to put 300,000 miles on it.

Silver/Black- 00' z28-R.I.P 00' WS6 M6
My dad had a 99' Bonneville that he put just over 250K miles on before he sold it last year. He had to the change the water pump and alternator a couple times along with the oil every 4k miles but other than that and maintenance nothing was ever done to the car. That thing ran just as flawlessly as the day he got it with 100k miles. I find that pretty amazing considering it was a 3800 and not a LTX or LSX motor.
