I had a 87 diesel Suburban that made it to 520K. Always used conventional Shell Rotella T. That was just a freak. But when the engine block lost two main bearing webs and crank snapped into three pieces - I examined what was left. Bearing and crank journals still looked near new. Cylinder walls still had factory cross-hatch marks.
I also know a logger who bought a brand new Chevy LUV diesel pickup many years ago -early 80s. He hated the truck and NEVER-EVER changed the oil. He figured he'd run it into the ground. He made it to 120K and then sold it - still running fine. Had the little 2.2 Isuzu diesel that was built from an gas-engine platform.
I've got 10 cars and trucks. All with at least 150K. My 92 Dodge-Cummins and my 94 Ford F250 with an IDI turbo 7.3 both have over 300K. All run fine and I've never used any synthetic oil - not the real stuff or the fake stuff made from hydrocracked petro.
