I had a 87 diesel Suburban that made it to 520K. Always used conventional Shell Rotella T. That was just a freak. But when the engine block lost two main bearing webs and crank snapped into three pieces - I examined what was left. Bearing and crank journals still looked near new.

I've got 10 cars and trucks. All with at least 150K. My 92 Dodge-Cummins and my 94 Ford F250 with an IDI turbo 7.3 both have over 300K. All run fine and I've never used any synthetic oil - not the real stuff or the fake stuff made from hydrocracked petro.
