I think it is a combination of things. As for motor oil itself, I think there is a big differance between now and the oils of the 40's and 50's. Maybe not so much now to the 70's. Just not quit going back far enough on oil quality there in my opinion. Another thing to factor in is the cars of the 60's and 70's were made out of some seriuos iron. Big tanks that was heavy as heck. It wore out engines just to propell them things. Newer vehicles are made out of lighter materials. Gas guzzelers were exceptable in the 70's. Not so much today. That has helped some in life expectancy. Technology, fuel injection, computerized and electrical componants, all have also played a hand in making engines last for more miles.
