Default High milage verus regular oil question.



Is it worth the time / money to use high milage oil in an older car
with about 110,000 miles on it or is regular oil just as good ??

The last time I had the oil changed I went with Quaker State high
milage over regular Quaker State oil .

TIA

Beware extra cost oil in a worn engine. Usually not worth it. I have never
been a big fan of Pennsylvania oils. One of the best I ever found for older
engines was Texaco's Havoline straight 30 weight oil. Once you wear to a
certain point multigrade oils don't work as well.

However - what I have found through LONG experience is that if you start
with a NEW engine - you'll find it will do best with Mobil One synthetic.
All synthetics are good, but Mobil seems best to almost eliminate engine
wear.
