The biggest problem for any lubricant was on those with the transverse
engine when gears in the box mashed up the engine oil. Most burnt the
oil such that what was in the sump at 12k miles wasn't what was in the
sump at the last service


Do you meant the oil wasn't still like brand new? Wow!


No I didn't. Go back and read what I wrote.
