Go to this website. He has 1,129,204 miles on a 1997 E-250 Van with original engine, transmission. Neither has been rebuilt. The website is http://www.millionmilevan.com/. Reading that his longest oil change was 55,000 miles on dino oil is absolutely amazing, but how many of you BITOG users would of liked to see a UOA on that one? Check it out!

Pretty interesting, but let's not ignore this: "I have to add a quart of oil every full tank of gas so there is always some new oil in the pan"

He probably just disconnected the speed odometer cable,and took a drill to put what looks like that amount of miles on it.....
Irrelevant Statistical Outlyer. Or maybe just outright lier.
My old cube mate always ran valvoline in his ford light trucks(v6). He always got over 300K service without opening them up. He does drive like grandma though - engine never goes above 2500 rpm.
Interesting. altho I am disappointed in Valvoline: apparently they sent him a hat....

Gets his repairs at Mytee Discount.
Can't afford to get the AC fixed for 5 years.
Has a perpetual oil change with a qt every 400 miles.
But I guess it's possible.

I read this story about a year ago. He's the real deal.

hmmmm, I also wonder why his pictures of the mileage show the vehicle at 0 MPH, but not just in Park, also sometimes in Neutral, sometimes Drive ??????

Probably the same reason as those windshield shots of Mr T driving the A-Team van---and It was always in "Park"!
Wow, impressive. I'm glad I went Valvoline on the oil and ATF.
