I imagine if you do a LOT of highway miles, and use that Mobil1 15K oil...it might work - lol...


I do 15K changes on my Civic (with the Mobil1 15K oil...)

I had a friend years ago who had a Jaguar XK140. It had something like a 12 qt sump. Leaked and burned so much all he did was add oil over the 15 years he owned it...Never changed it!

i took my mom's car to the limit and the car still called my bluff, he could run on no oil...lol

30 000 km on Castrol GTX........lol......the dip stick was all rusty, all white foam in the engine.... i didnt bother to even refill it and the car runs.... :icon08:
a month later, scrapped the car and got 50 bucks...lol

Nope, both times have been with the cheapest oil the dealer will throw in there. The car is really quite sad. The paint is loaded with swirl marks, and the interior is loaded with trash and ashes. I eat and smoke in my car, but I am pretty meticulous about cleaning it out. He's also rolling on racing slicks, although he may hold the record for tire life from a set of Potenzas. Everything is coming along nicely though. He just hit a deer, so the body shop buffed the whole car to blend the paint, and even gave the interior a bit of a detail. He is about to buy some Lexani rims for it, and that will mean new rubber. It's not my taste, but to each their own.
