When I was Ford Service Manager here in Nebraska, we had an F150 pickup with South Carolina plates towed in with the engine seized. It showed 29,000 miles on the odometer.
We ran it up on a hoist and pulled the drain plug on the oil pan. Nothing came out, not one drop. We then noticed it had the original gray factory oil filter still on it. I asked the fellow who was driving it when was the last time the oil was checked or changed. He replied, 'I never bother with stuff like that'.
