Hey Broker, I know you don't use AMSOIL ( I think) what do you use to get those numbers so high?

What was your usual oil change interval being over the road hauling? I can't remember, but did you have bypass filtration?

Im not so sure synthetic makes high miles.

I used to think that until I put 535k on a 4 banger grand-am while I was in sales. It would have kept going except the radiator got clogged and I overheated her in the summer and cracked the block. I used valvoline 10-40 when she was new. Then switched to 20-50, then 40 wt racing then 50 wt racing with stp. Figured as she wears out I will thicken the oil. It semed to work.
