I've got an 89 200 TQ with about 90,000 miles on it.  Car as been pampered =
and is in great shape.  Ive always used standard oil - played around with t=
he weight to get the lifters to quiet down but thats about it.  Friend says=
 I should switch to Mobil 1 - higher mileage formula.

Obviously I don't put allot of miles on this car each year.  I currently en=
d up changing the oil more because of time passage than mileage.  I recall =
reading something that says switching to synthetic may be a bad idea for ol=
der cars.

Query - is this a good idea?  Would not mind putting in a product that allo=
ws me to go along time without changing oil.  What impact will this stuff h=
ave on lifter noise - will I finally be able to throw out the Magic Mystery=
 Oil?  Does my car have too many miles on it to safely switch?

Thanks for the advice

Kevin
