96 SE with 109,900 Miles, Motor Oil formulated for high mileage engines?
Hello All:
I own a '96 SE/5-Spd with 109,900 miles and have had it since mile 0. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and perform the other normal maintenance routines. There has been no other major mechanical breakdown other than the starter I replaced at about 75K miles (knock on wood). It's a great car and still hauls a#$%! on the highway. Now my question is this? Has anyone used those specially formulated motor oils for cars with high mileage, i.e. > 75K? I looked at Penzoil's product and it says it contains additives for sealing seals and maintaining enhanced engine performance, blah, blah, blah...
Just soliciting some opinions.
