    155k miles on 1 Toyota filter...video

    Air filters in newer cars are good for 50-60k generally. My last filter went 55k and the inside of the air box had no dirt or dust.

    Brutality, with intent to kill....

    Brutality with intent to kill.......driving a 10000 ft pass in a 67vw Bug in third gear, with 4 people in the car, in the middle of winter. Painful for the car and equally painful for the occupants.

    Thin or thick (TGMO 0W-20/M1 0W-40): Final verdict

    GC was the golden elixir for many. It provided Amazing UOA's. It also had a sweet smell.

    Are there any new sedans capable of 300k miles?

    This is a funny thread. In the future we will all be driving electric cars.....and all cars will be able to go 300k. But the roads will be clogged and it will be easier multipurpose transportation. We won't be driving much.

    15K OCI R53 2006 Mini Cooper S 144k

    She's driving 10-11k a year. Pick a bmw approved oil for your mini and change it once a year. No problem and no brain damage. Just keep it topped up.

    Another too much oil in the sump thread

    The vehicle needs to be level when the oil is drained. If it's up on ramps then jack the other end up to make it level before you drain. You'll get complete drain when the vehicle is level. (even though a little old oil will always remain in the engine).
