1991 Ford Escort LX 5 speed 196,000 miles and runs better than any car I have ever owned. Only ever had to change the timing belt once. It starts right up no matter the weather. Is reliable and quite a zippy little car for what it is.
1996 For Escort 5 speed 4 door 80,000 miles Not a bad car, for someone like me. Not nearly as good as the other escort though. It is a typical escort.
1989 Jeep Cherokee 70,000 miles Good for long trips and carrying stuff. But it needs to be begged to go up a hill with any speed. We got it just to haul my daughter's stuff back and forth to college when she was in PSU. And it was to be for her to learn how to drive it. Made Mommy feel better then if she were driving a little sports car.
1990 Ford F-350 196,000 miles Boyfriends toy to go plowing and running around. He has owned it since new and it is really in excellent shape and well maintained.
1973 F-350 over 500,000 miles An old factory high boy. My b/f's baby. He keeps it mint and never drives it.
1993 Peterbuilt 379 400 CAT 335,000 miles his work truck. Bought it with 40,000 miles and he is a fanatic about it's condition. I hjave never seen anyone put so much effort into sparkling chrome. It is more then just his livelihood
As you can tell, we are not into new or flashy cars. But we own everything outright and our insurance is low. Plus with no payments, we have more money to spend on animal rescue. And to give my high maintenience 19yr old daughter.
My b/f says that he knows that on heavy equip. they have what is called 'break in oil' and it is not supposed to be changed until a certain amount of running hours. But he says that you are correct, Eli, it only suspends contaminants, it doesnt remove anything. Oil filters generally do not filter all the oil at one time. Even if they got clogged up, they would go into bypass and you wouldnt notice for a while. So, you will not capture many contaminants that way, so the 'break in' oil (or additives) is a good thing.
