If I recall correctly, way back when Mobil 1 first came out they ran a Lincoln
for 100,000 miles, and never changed the oil, just the filter and added a bit.
When they tore down the engine, it was within new engine tolerances.

jim -
i use a semi synthetic made by schaeffer oil. you have to get it from a
distributor, and there is a 10? case minimum order, so we usually get together
on it.
it contains molybdmmmmmm, which functions the same as zinc, and works very
well. i use it in my regular beasts as well, and have gone as much as 12k
miles without changing, although that's probably not a good idea.

btw - if you don't know the difference between synthetic and semi synthetic,
let me know.
