I respectfully have to disaggree with you, first I find it hard to believe any Taxi a few years back could run 300,000 miles, that is a ton of miles for a gas engine, if you meant 30,000 miles, that is not even broke in yet. The one of the main differnaces between oils is the purity of the base oil and the additives added to it. Oil is oil, the lubricity of oil is the same, no matter who bottles it. What you get is consistancy of the oil viscosity and the stabilzaion of the oil under daily use conditions. When I was young, I bought the cheapest oil I could find, after 50,000 miles I decided to build my engine. That engine was so full of sludge and garbadge from the cheap oil it was not even funny, Wne to Shell rotella as Dad told me alwasy to use and never did tear down a sludged up engine again. That may not be scientific facts, but it a true, hard fact from the school of hard knocks!!!
