My 93 Ford Explorer has over 280,000 miles on it. Gets over 3000 miles per
quart, often 5000 miles depending on driving. I have used whatever the
local parts store has on sale, Exxon, Shell, Castrol, Vasoline, etc.
I read the Consumers Reports article on motor oil, and my experience seems
to agree.
