The reason many auto manufactures now recommend sooner oil change service on Turbo Models is the DIY Turbocharge engine owners tend to dismiss normal servicing and this historically led to many problems in the past with Turbocharged engines.

I'm sure that's true to some extent, but some/many are having oil dilution with the DI fuel systems that would need a short OCI for long engine life.
I've never run into this situation, so what anto maker engineers are thinking or reasoning are anyone's guess.
