When I was a kid my Dad bought a brand new '52 DeSoto "Fire-Dome' V-8. He drove about 90 miles round trip to work at the GE plant in Schenectady. He changed the oil about every 2,500 miles and used nothing but PennzOil. He always changed his own oil and we saved the oil in 1 gallon glass jugs. After about six months the contaminants would settle to the bottom and the oil took on the color of dark maple syrup and was clear enuf that you could almost see through it. Not a bit cloudy!
