[DML] An oil question (was) Re: oil discussion

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

True, this has been from other people's cars (sometimes beyond a
20,000 mile interval) so there's no telling what's going on inside
their engines. I've never encountered such from my own vehicles, but
then I do burn SAE 30 exclusively...

My AMC does tick & clatter on 10W oil, but it's burning a GM 151
(inline 4) with 150,000 miles. No telling how far past a reasonable
service life that poor General Motors engine is...

My F150 with Ford's 300 (inline 6) just turned 205,000...

(I don't think I could have replied to your post without the invention
of elipses...)
