Ex Police Ford Crown Vic (2006) about 230 miles a week. Valvoline Syn. and no i wouldn't change brands. I rebuild engines for a living, and I see what works!!

I use a 30 year old stash of mobil 1 at work with zero issues.

They are for indoor use, why would you have a concern?

My parents bought me 4 season tickets to the minor league baseball team here in Dayton.

old police cars get the [censored] run out of them and then go on to be taxi's and then back to public, I have seen many with 400,000 miles on them running fine.

Run it. dont worry, unless you tow a trailer, have a tow truck or its in a motorhome. I know, i collect recessed heads ( exaust seat) that were made before hardened seats were standard . My collection is very small . Again RUN IT.

I used to do a decent Display. Nothing after my divorce in 07 with my kids grown and gone, I live alone. I just dont put up anything anymore.

Out here in the Shops tear down room: I will admit the the valvoline oiled engines do look better in all areas, cly wear, bearing wear etc...I was never a valvoline guy, but years of tear downs made me one. Whatever they use in formulations WORKS!!

They are very equal with great results here at the Speed Shop, a sight edge to Valvoline after looking at many teardowns with high loading.

I sent my son to a great out of state 4 year college,Graduated Auto technology with honors,works now with major auto company in advanced technology, a super job indeed, and NO he doesn't want to get dirty ever, i maintained and changed oil, etc in his personal cars until lately as his company...

All the bodyshops around here recharge A/C systems during car repairs indoors in their shops during colder months, it seems to work out well.

At our speed shop we still have about 100 cases of mobil 1 15w-50 left over from a long ago sponsership the cases are all dated 1989,I belive SF,or SG api. we have no problem using this oil in any engine made between 1950-2018 with perfect results.

heavy towing up a mountain (heat) can take out the oil film on the valve guides,Cast iron guides, steel valves, hangs them (valves) open off the valve seat, and Piston hits said valves and you end up with Bent pushrods, Just replacing pushrods may not fix your issue long term.
