There you go … you like the older stuff … right ! Or little too old, LoL
I think you wasted more time writing this post than I have wasted money with my 5,000 mile OCI!
What is a Townie ? Excuse my ignorance.
I'll toss one in here for the OP, Third Generation Prius can have an oil consumption problem once they get near 100K miles. Not all of them but it seems that those individuals who think 10K mile oil changes are the way to go seem to be the ones experiencing the most problems. Toyota changed the OCI from 5K to 10K miles shortly after releasing the 2010 model.
I have 94K miles on my 2010, it still uses ZERO oil (0W20) between 4500 mile / 6 month oil changes.

In the present state of affairs, the OP's analogy - Jet vs ICE engine - should come as no surprise. Some entities go as far as being unable to tell their gender. Take it FWIW.
I’m wondering where the UOA is as this is posted in the UOA section
one of the most logical posts in this thread! lol
ICE compared to a modern jet turbine engine is worse than comparing apples to oranges, it is even worse than trying to make orange juice using only apples. But everyone here on BITOG knows that.
The way different engines beat up and degrade oil varies widely, and even the amount of protection different engines require from oils also varies, add to that the different ambient temperatures from artic to desert, durations of trips from always short trips to always long trips or the average engine that sees a mix, loads on the engines such as towing, empty, city, highway, hills, flat-land, non-demanding driver, lead foot, miles on the engine including the sensors that the engines electronics use to tune the air to fuel mixture and timing, type of fuel metering system and age and performance of those parts, turbo or NA, compression ratios, range of RPMs it runs at, TAKE ALL OF THIS INTO CONSEDERATION AND EVEN COMPARING SOME ICEs TO OTHER ICEs IS ALMOST LIKE COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES. You can not make broad statements about how long everyone should run an oil change interval with all the different types of gasoline internal combustion engines that are in use now days and all the different conditions they are used in.

In the world of BITOG, it is one that has been around here for many years/posts, and watches the 'newbies' ask the same questions over and over.
Instead of 'get of my lawn", its "get off my forum".

A made-up term that some have used to describe long-term members. It is intended to be derogatory.
With that, it's lock time. This thread started out with trolling, was posted in a the wrong section, has devolved into bickering, and bashing of the forum itself.
