Your right blykins was trying to make a point.Think then about compression ignition diesel engines that are started every day like their counterpart gas engines and how long these motors last.
One example Amsoil advertizes is a trucker with bypass filtering went 409,000 miles on one oil change,course he had his oil analyzed periodically.
I do believe in the Accusump or something similiar for racing and for those that feel the need on their pride and joys.
As many engines as I have built or rebuilt and seen the condition some of them were in while tearing them down know for a fact what works and what is overkill especially on the street.Race motors presents another whole ball of wax.
