84,000 miles without oil change
Saw this on an engineering site today. 84,000 miles without an oil change.

Shoulda hada Frantz toilet paper oil filter. Seems like they said you never had to change your oil, just toss in a new roll of butt wipe ever so often.

I remember reading years ago that some guy bought a Rolls Royce and had the hood welded shut until he got to 100,000 miles. Wonder what it looked like inside?

That's what I call a bullet proof engine.

Looks fine to me. What's the problem?

Very common thing. Seen a lot of engines like this. Some people just don't care. Pennzoil mineral based motor oil engines often look like this even with frequent oil changes.

You all think this is funny, and no reasonable person would subject an engine to this, but my next door neighbor thought that synthetic oil meant he never had to change it.
The engine blew at ~40,000 miles.
He said Dodge covered it under warranty, but I think he lied to cover his ignorance (after he learned a very hard lesson).
