I just sold an '82 olds with 230,000 on the clock. used a couple
of water pumps and fuel pumps, but thats it.
I broke it in for 10,000 mi with good oil, changeing it every
3,000, then I converted to Mobil 1, and changed it every 10,000
miles. Ran that since new, and it would only burn 1/2 qt every 10,000
miles. innerds of the engine ran like a clock. (well)
I plan on the same treatment for my DAK.
I have heard mileage will go up 1 mpg or so.
