I was just curious to see the longest amount of time anyone has run a conventional oil in terms of months, I've heard of people running conventional oil up to a year and swear that it's safe..opinions?
Thanks

I worked for a motorcycle dealer that had a rabbit diesel pickup as a shop "truck." You'd have to push it off a cliff for it to build up enough speed to be considered "slow."quote:

my fathers old vw diesel engine went 10K miles per oil change, on vavoline car oil, not diesel oil.
after some time we took the engine out and replaced it with a turbo diesel.
the old engine still ran good, had good oil pressure but it wasnt a turbodiesel, so it was really slow which was the reason we changed it.
the oil drained out like cold syrup.
I had one of those, you measured 0-60 with a calendarquote:

Everywhere you drove it was uphill with a headwind...
