Engine Oil for "High Mileage" vehicles

They're marketing bullshit. Just change the oil, use whatever the mfr recommends and have the thing overhauled if it's shot. There is no silver bullet, and certainly no magic oil for an old timer, particularly a worn out pile of scrap.

I am not convinced. Just another way to get unsuspecting dudes to cough up a couple of extra bucks. Use a high quality motor oil (Valvoline, Pennz, etc) and call it good.

Jerry McG did pass the time by typing:

Actually I used some "Restore" on my old POS chevy that was sucking oil around several pistons. Acutally brought back power and kept it running fairly good for about five years. Then I sold it. Not to suggest using the stuff on a modern engine by my results were fairly good.

Needless to say it brings back power by cloging the rings with crap. But at the time I had money for a can, not an overhaul. :)

I say the oil is of no importance. Just make sure you always buy a high quality filter. Nick
