I started my 200T on Mobil 1 at 60K, no problems. 10/30 in summary, 5/30 in
winter.

Started the Range Rover at 40K on Mobil 1, again no problems. The thing
leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez, but that's only because someone keeps
sneaking under the hood and loosening the valve cover and oil pan bolts.
Every time I check, they're loose. 

Seals are fine. I consumed a little oil in this thing last winter with
5/30, and think I'll stay with 10/30 this winter.

Ideally, I'd like to run 15/50 for most of the year with the Rover, but I
can't find it everywhere, and I recently found 10/30 5 gallon jugs at
Walmart, which were both cheap and convenient. ($15)

I've switched other cars too, at advanced miles...but never more than 90K.
Seems like some don't mind, others do. Who knows!
