I see no benefit from so-called "high mileage" oils. Personally, I stay with the same oil through the life of a vehicle. If an engine uses oil, there is a reason for it - like worn out rings, loose valve guides, or bad valve seals. Most of today's engines have higher nickel content in the engine blocks and use chrome compression rings. That combination adds up to an engine with a very long lifespan. Most of what will go wrong with an engine will be from other causes than from anything in the block assembly. Heads, valve guides, and valves are the most common problems that occur. I cannot think of anything that an engine could need at higher mileage that it does not already get from regular oil changes with good oil. Also, most seals in an engine these days are made of long life material, and generally last the life of the engine. The engine in my daily driver has 275,000 miles on it. I replaced a head recently, and the block shows no significant wear. No ridges and the original crosshatch honing pattern still shows. The whole "high mileage oil" thing seems to me to be a way to charge more money for the same old thing.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
