Oil gets contaminated in an engine. So it's not just the oil itself but
how well it is filtered etc and whether those contaminants can be removed
or not which determines its service life in practice. That's one reason
why lifetime oils for gearboxes etc have been around for a long time - but
not for engines.

As usual you have just visited a few websites and are quoting the bits
that suit you without any understanding of the subject.


Dave,

you are wasting your time. The bloke is a complete arse writing cr@p all
through this thread.

I hope no-one believes him, nor takes him seriously.
