I dunno. Probably those with mechanical sympathy, enthusiasts, gearheads, studies engines for experience, and maybe good samaritans.

Probably not. I rode some older taxis and their engines were already knocking, sure sign it was neglected.

cheap supertech oil (accel). car is fine after 150,000 miles

so if you used amsoil signature you would've spent a lot more only for the (very marginal) benefit of the 2nd owner. that's stupid if you ask me

btw you can take a peek through the oil filler. there's my ford engine on cheap oil

Extended oil drain intervals are overrated in my opinion. Max I could do in a naturally aspirated car that is only driven on highway is 1 year. In my turbo cars, I replace it as early as 5 months, max 6 months.
