I have been using synthetic oil for about 20-25 yrs, I drive cars for 250,000 to 275,000 miles, never an engine problem, just that there usually are other problems at that point.
1979 Volvo 264 V-6 259,000
1984 Honda Prelude 246,000 (Car was t-boned at that point)
1988 Dodge Caravan Mitsubishi V-6 287,000
1995 Saab 900 S Convertible 85,000 still have
1999 Mercedes E320 4 Matic 98,000 still have
I change the oil and filter every 3000 miles with Mobil 1 10W30 for the Saab(takes 4 quarts) and every 5000 for the Mercedes(takes 8 quarts). Additionally, I do brake, transmission/transaxle, power steering, cooling system flushes on a regular basis. Brakes at 25,000 miles, auto tarnsmission at 50,000, transaxle at 25,000 miles, power steering at 25,000 miles, cooling every 24 months.
