This is a 1983 Cutlass Supreme, 4.3L V6 diesel. Engine has approx 130,000 miles on it.
Oil had around 1,500 miles from 6 years ago and about 25 hours of idling for the following 5 years. Oil capacity is 7 qts, uses a pf52 filter plus an additional 1qt filter (pf35) which I added.
I changed the oil as I want to make sure I don't hurt the motor anymore if it sits a few more years before I get around to it. Car had not been started in a year when I took this sample and was usually started and idled a few times a year for the last 6 years. Had blue smoke when I started the engine to get the sample. I put back in mix of oil to clean out my cabinet, 2qts of 7 year old Rotella, some Mobil 1, and the rest Schaeffers. After running on the clean oil the blue smoke stopped so figure the rings were stuck a little bit.
How does everyone think it looks after 6 years sitting plus 25 hours idling?

Quit driving the car 6 years ago due to terminal cancer (rust). I am getting ready to pull the motor for a future swap, another Olds in good shape or a conversion into my 94 S10. Maybe both since I have several engines.code:
