I'd try it but at the rate I'm burning oil now (~1qt every ~2000 miles) it wouldn't be an accurate result since the sample at 10K would have had quite a bit of new oil topped off.
There's a guy on Bob is the Oil Guy forums who ran Super Tech conventional for 10k miles in a van and it actually looked pretty decent in the used oil analysis.

I'd be interested to see what a good SN+ synthetic oil like Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 would show for a used oil analysis in the N52.
