26.5K on a 2000 Mazda 2.0 4 cyl. Using Red Line 5W20 and OEM Mazda Full Flow filter. I run my oil changes 12 months.

This engine really seems to like this oil. Or maybe better stated, I like everything about the performance and sound of the engine with this oil in it.

[NewGuy]

1998 Ford Expedition with 122,000 miles. Switched to MC 5W20 exclusively at 115,000 with MC filters and a 3-4K OCI. Gas mileage went up slightly. I will get a UOA in mid-summer. I like the way the 5.4L engine runs with this oil. No consumption between changes.

 

[KBK]

Honda Civic 2004 VP 24,660 miles, M1 5W-20 + 6oz VSOT. just drained AFT and filled with Honda ATF-Z1 OCI 4,500 - 5,000 Miles. Smooth delivery driving... I did lots of delivery, stop n go and drive really hard. I will do UOA for the first time. Just want to check if the M1+VSOT can handle my habit or not

 

[C4Dave]

1972 Ford LTD. 3000 OCI. 170,000 miles when sold. Used 5w20 Mobil 1. This was in the 1970's and 80's.

 

[MIAMI-DADE]

I hope this topic isn't over yet.I like seeing the high miliage cars in here like C4DAVE with his 72LTD with 170k.I Didn't think a 72LTD could handle that.I had a 72LTD and they were great cars with a super V8 engine.The 351 i believe.

Don't let this topic die just yet PLEASE.

[Bob Woods]

I have a 97 Taurus with 120k, a few years ago I had Ford fix the oil pan they put in 5w20 and it started using oil, so I went back to 10w30. Factory specs call for 10w30

 

[bkrell]

2002 Honda CR-V, original owner. Mostly M1 0W and 5W20. Initially I did a few w/ M1 5W30 before the 20 weights were widely sold. Currently Castrol GTX 5W30. OCI 3-5000 miles regardless. Currently have approx. 64,000 miles.

It's seen several days going 70 or more on interstate commutes of 70 miles each way in 95-100+ degree heat. Still spotless under the valve cover.
