Good comments about the better oils and fuels allowing extended oil changes. I have used Mobil 1 synthetic for 30 years, and oil anaylisis showed me that even on older machines using the older dirtier fuels, they use less oil and the oil stays clean longer when using a quality pao grp 4 base oil. I suspect the better ring seal caused by the synthetic oil film, results in less oil getting past the rings to burn, and less blowby and combustion products going the other way past the rings to contaminate the oil. The longest I ran Mobil 1 synthetic on the farm in the dirt was 12,000 miles, analysis of that oil always came back as still having plenty of life left at those miles. I do take special care of air filters and such,so I am sure that helps .
I perfer the PAO based grp 4 synthetic oil, but even a grp 3 hydro oil based synthetic is much better than plain mineral oil.
I am not pushing Amsoil, never have used it, although a little online research shows it to be great oil. While Google searching for a clear discription of oil base stocks, the one on the Amsoil site is pretty good.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
