Hi Jason - I think the high milage oils are basically just a bit more
viscious. Going on the basis that an older engine with more miles on it
- has worn parts. Though you can buy most of these high milage oils in
various grades. Frankly I don't think they would do much. ( I don't
know positivly one way or the other but my gut tells me "gimick")
I'd stick to a good synthetic like Mobile 1 - which I use in combination
with Napa Gold filters. I've used Mobile 1 in everything.
