My apologies if this has been talked about here, but I found this article very interesting...
1,000,000 mile Ford Van
This tidbit I found the most intriguing:
Quote:
His maintenance secrets for getting a million miles from his van would make most automotive engineers and mechanics cringe: He changes his oil every 10,000 miles, but one time drove it 55,000 miles before an oil change. He adds a quart of oil with every other fill-up, however.
I would love to see under his valve cover.
If you can get 1,000,000 miles out of an engine on this regiment, maybe we are all throwing away our money. These are highway miles I'm sure, but still an interesting consideration.
