30,000 mile oil

[Dave Aukerman]

But does the inherit blow-by of the diesel, not to mention their strength
contribute to these longer intervals?  Given, some engines just love chewing
on the grunge.  My mech. has told me stories of old Chevy 350's coming in
that haven't had a change in years and will continue to run forever.
Meanwhile, other motors will just die.

Interesting site.  Thanks.

Dave
