I'd like to see the condition of the bearings after one of these
"tests". Saying "wow it's still running" doesn't mean much, as
previous posters have stated. I have an '89 Celebrity work beater
that has 178000 on it. It was the inlaws car until 50000, but since
then the oil is changed regulary, and doesn't consume a measureable
amount of oil in 3-4000 mile intervals. Most manufacturers recommend
against additives explicitly in the owners manual.
