Your dad only gets a little over 250,000 out of his engines ?? Easy answer then, Mobil ran a BMW engine with Mobil 1 synthetic for 1000,000 miles. When torn down, all parts measured within new engine specs. That together with the less oil changes and filters, better fuel economy and easier cold starting makes it a no brainer. My personal experience is with a 98 chevy pickup that is still running great at 430,000 miles. It ran the first 100,000 on mineral oil, then was converted to mobil 1. It seems that you can put Mobil 1 synthetic oil into a good running, high mile engine, and what ever condition it was in at the time,will not change seemingly forever. Wear almost stops if you maintain a good air filter system.
