They say if your car has over 75,000 miles you should be using high milage oil. It's a big marketing scam as far as I'm concerned.
2 of our pickup's have well over 200,000 miles, another is at 172,000.
I have changed to a heavier oil in them, 10W40 from 5W30 in the low mile truck, the others get the same 15w40 Delo I run in my tractors and yes they are gas engines in the trucks.
A while back our V6 Dakota needed a oil change so I stopped at one of those quick lube centers in town, the guy claimed using 15W40 diesel oil in that truck would cause damage and shorten the life of the engine. I pointed out the 215,000 miles on the odometer and said. "Well I've only been using 15W40 in this truck for 165,000 miles, guess I'll just take my chances." You should have seen the dump look on his face, they still made me sign a paper stating they where putting the wrong oil in.
If high milage oil is so important why don't they make it for diesels, my last semi went 1.2 million miles before it was overhauled using regular 15W40.
