Cant see why it wont be beneficial going that route with the High Mileage oil from here on out?? Condition seals and extra added anti wear additives. I see some people on BITOG even use High Mileage oil with a new purchase these days.

Don't jinx yourself buddy. A J32 from that era will be due for the oil pump re-seal any day now.

Please dont say that, I am knocking on wood right now.

Any I've seen were SN+. Most Dexos.

Hmm, I don't see anywhere on the data sheets that high-mileage oil improves your vision.
