Bob is the oil guy. He is saying we wouldn't pick up on the cleanliness compared to them.
This is mine.
He also did change oil for like 50000 miles or something ridiculous like that?^^^

I believe so, yes. I think it was actually 60k because he thought he didn't need to change the oil.... Dumb.
3-4 thousand religiously, full synthetic. but now this is becoming an oil changing discussion which i hate.
it was 30k for the bmw lmao...

Yep, you can always find the BITOGers on this site (like nick and myself)..
I'd be willing to bet my VCs would be like that, since my Js run on nothing but synthetic.......
this is the intake side of my 2.4 after 126k miles.
(valvetrain is very dry in this pic, due to sitting in my garage not being run since november)
i purchased the car with 80k on it and its had mobil 1 full synth since 90k with oil changes done around 1500-2000 miles (around 3 month intervals) and always with an AC/Delco filter. unknown service intervals or materials before that, but it couldn't have been all that bad cause it doesn't look too bad. and i haven't been nice to it either
Mobil 1 since brand new, changed every 5000km (3100mi), millage was 120,000km (75,000mi) at time of picture.
This was taken around 70,000km, having been turbo'd for 20,000km. Filled mostly with Quaker State Synthetic 5W-30, sometimes other brands.

Last I had the valve cover off this happened...
Just kidding...3500-4000 Mi OCI with Valvoline premium blue full synthetic diesel engine oil...over 27k at this point.

Very nice and clean! Hope after a few changes the Edge will clean mine out to look like that.
I don't have pics bow but my girls 96 vert had 136000 on it when I pulled the engine and the bottom end looks pretty decent so I'm assuming the top end will look just as good, I can't say what the oil changes were like on her bc when I bought her a month ago I took it home and pulled the engine due to spun bearing but if I get pics ill find out.
Some clean engines there!
