true. But my 1991 Audi 200 20v did have 200,000 on it when I sold it. The
MR2 has 230,000 on it, but he previous owner ran too much boost so I replace
the long block 15,000 miles ago with one that only had 30,000 miles on it.
I believe the Audi always had Mobile 1 synthetic, at least from the previous
owner and me, I have heard sometimes the change from dino oil to synthetic
can cause issues.

None taken. I'm also guessing that your cars haven't covered 1/4 million
miles each <g> But I suspect it has more to do with the effects of the
additives on old seals than engine tolerances.
