The obvious question to ask, is how did you get to 300,000 miles, not scoff at his methods of "blind luck". For full disclosure, please tell the rest of us Bitogers what vehicles you have taken over 300,000 miles - and how you did it. .......................................................................

Nothing pompous intended or inferred--just cold hard facts and "my way" has nothing to do with it. I stand by what I said because it is obvious this person is stating opinions as facts--case in point is regular M1 and M1EP being the exact same oil, that is easily proven otherwise.
For the record--not that I need to justify anything, I have taken 3 vehicles in my life to over 300K--a 1979 Pontiac Trans AM (about 320K), a 1992 Toyota Celica (about 370K), and a 1999 Ford F-150 (about 340K). All of them ran when I sold them and none of them were using excessive oil. There was no special tactics involved, just religious maintenance--which is what any engine requires to run that long provided there is not a design flaw. A gasoline engine making it to over 300K on 30K OCIs is not a normal occurrence--in fact, how many have you seen or read about aside from this one?
