You are questioning about certain brands of oil that claim to be “ high mileage” as in better for cars and engines with additional miles. A scam can be viewed as any this included as such

quote:synthetic oil doesn't lose viscosity nearly as fast as petroleum based oil sure but 25k on an oil change is a bad idea because you still get contaminants in the oil which is why it should be changed every 5k at a minimum. Air filters don't stop everything
Oil change every 12 months or 25K miles. Fully recommend.

Regardless of lubrication properties, it is hard for me to believe that a certain volume of oil can 'suspend contaminates' for 20K and have superior properties over an oil changed every 5K. Detergents are put in oil to keep the engine clean. That's why your used oil should look black if it's doing the job properly. Oil has a saturation point. Imagine what would happen to an engine with a small coolant leak over 20K miles

I've seen better synthetic oil in the quad.

I have been treating my oil as high mileage since the 90s with zero issues.

Watched this episode of Project Farm on YouTube and he compared four different oil blends.
That guy is awesome. He tests everything. Does a lot of oils.
I recommend watching him if you are in the market for a new battery tool system, chainsaw, wiper blades and everything else he tests.
Any episode that uses the Farmabego is good

There is Mobile 1 and then there is regular oil.
