It is not the frequent oil changes that saves the gaskets, but rather frequent trips (instead of once in 17k miles) where problems could be caught early rather than finding out that a leaky ofhg caused the belt to slip and caused $4k worth of damage.
Every 5k miles I am at my Indy, and while the car is on the lift I ask my mechanic to look for anything that might be of a concern.
