I said that today that every really high mileage motor I've seen ran a conventional oil. Did you look under the valve cover for sludge,does it consume any oil.
Did you tell her about bitog. I'm sure many of us would like to know details like interval and consumption.

... but, but, but with synthetic it could go so much further, right?
Or, people with funds to use synthetics don't keep their cars for 400k miles.
Think of how much longer it will last with 25,000 mile oci's.
Thats a pretty broad statement. I use synthetics, with the mileage I drive a year, my car will have 400,000 miles in approximately 100 years.

Re-read my statement. It says every really high mileage vehicle I'VE SEEN. I never said there aren't high mileage engines out there with synthetic,just that the really high milers are there using conventional.
I'm a syn fan here,don't get me wrong,I'm just stating an observation I made.

Over 900K on Mobil 1 in an E150 company delivery van. 4.6L Ford engine. 4 transmissions.
Well in 400k more miles I will have 560k on the f150 and it gets what ever I feel like putting in it at the time and 5k ocis.
I would probably go with the idea of people spending extra on oil probably don't keep their cars as long. Most people use conventional for economy cars, don't they? Dealerships typically use it, quick lubes use it, and it's what most people think is normal.

here in my engine shop we are seeing more and more toyotas coming in with under 70,000 needing a rebuilt engine something that was unheard of in the nineties.

My Toyota 98 has no visible rust. If you look at the 92 and after Camry's in Michigan it is rare to see rust, it's amazing. Toyota had figured out corrosion starting with that model.

I can believe that. My 2007 Camry 4cyl sounds like a rattle trap and at 100,000 miles is using 2 quarts of oil between 5000 mile oil changes. Is it the 5W20 oil or Toyota quality diminishing?

Should off asked her what she did to put 32K mile per year for 15 years on her car?
that is about 130 miles a day for 250 days for the work week? That is a lot of driving?
around my area that car would of been rotted out and removed from the road years ago.
