400,000 miles

[Walsted]

Today, the odometer passed the 400,000 mile mark. Still has the original long block, but the car is starting to show its miles. I may have to start looking for a replacement after I join the half a million mile club.

Thats awesome! Congrats!

Thanks.

What weight and type of oil(conventional, synthetic) you use?

I use Purolator or Wix (NAPA) oil filters. When I change oil, I use two quarts synthetic and the rest conventional oil. Straight 10W30 for the most part. At this point, I no longer focus on which brand, but earlier I preferred Havoline.

I don't know if it would be a good idea to follow my oil advice, though, since I burn through two or more quarts of oil per week. Sometimes, when it is cold, I'll substitute one of those quarts with 5W20.

2 or more quarts a week? How in the hell?

I'm guessing valve guides and at least 800 miles a week.
