I firmly believe that it isn't related to oil changes:

My old '89: Very regular dino oil changes it's whole life, no valve-guide
burning at 182K.
Current '94: Very regular oil changes with Mobil 1 it's whole life, and the
valve guides are worn at 175K (and have been worn/leaking for maybe the last
25K)

What a minute.....dino oil car has good valve guides, synthetic oil car has
bad guides.....!!!!  ;-)

Why some have valve guides go bad and others don't is a bit 
of a mystery, but I suspect it is either luck or not 
changing oil/filter often enough.
