Re: [DML] Yet Another Oil Thread

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

How many miles? Two years sitting in the driveway, for example, 
wouldn't mean much. 

Why do you "like" Toyota 0-20 oil? Have you run it for over 100K 
miles and then measured the engine wear? Have you ever had it 
analyzed?

At any rate, by far the most important thing is to keep it changed 
regularly. Generally problems caused by the wrong oil take a very 
long time to show up, and a couple of years of normal driving do not 
mean much. On the other hand, let it get extrememly dirty and never 
change it, you'll toast the engine quickly. 

That's what makes oil such a religious argument, it takes a long time to see any difference under normal conditions.
