Impressive. So 80k on 0w-40 oils, but what's the total mileage on the unit?
203,000
What amount of time is the OCI ?
Just curious, what is the car? How is the timing chain wear?
Climate, cold starts, highway miles, many things matter.

No sludge, but lots of varnish.
Looks to be a straight six of a, hmmmm.. I was going to say a BMW, but one of the filler caps looks VW to me.
Think of a more forgotten luxury car brand, that's not German.
A luxury car brand not European.. Delorean?
Not Delorean but I guess "not European" is now technically correct.

Luxury car brand that's not German? Chevy Caprice? Olds 98 Regency? Cadillac Sedan De Ville?
Oldsmobile, pontiac, mercury. Do not seem like luxury to me... But they were at one time!
Straight six, DOHC, I'm just don't know of any straight 6's used in any time period of those brands.. Must have been low production.

I didn't say they were American, just that they don't necessarily consider themselves to be European.

Doesn't (or didn't) Volvo make an inline 6?
I've never considered the German brands to be luxury cars, just foreign cars.
Volvo is still around, well purchased by a new corp
Yes, but I'm thinking about the other car brand Ford used to own.
I'd be googling away right now, thinking something in Aust. Fuel injection, straight six, kinda modern say 90 - 00
