[QUOTE="SteveMKentucky, post: 560060, member: 4231"] Back in the 70's I worked with a man who commuted from Fairhope Alabama to Pensacola every day in a Datsun B210. His B210 had close to 300,000 miles on it. He had never changed the oil. He added oil as needed and periodically changed the filter but not the oil. He used to rib me because I was an avid 3,000 miles between changes guy. He claimed that oil never really wore out; just got dirty. I used to argue that the additives that made up the composition of the oil dissipated with age but I could not point out any ill affects in his particular case. I disagreed with his approach but there was no way I could argue with his results. As an aside synthetics seem to be all the rage. I have several motorcycles that are over 40 years old and have always been run on old-fashioned mineral oil. Most of them are still on their original bottom ends. [/QUOTE]
