I agree with you 100%. As someone who worked in a shop as a mechanic I've seen a lot of tired engines. #1 oil failure we saw in the shop was due to NOT changing the oil or not having any in the bloody engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you use the proper SAE rated oil that your manufacture calls for you're good to go. Some feel its better to pay 10 bucks a quart and run it for 10-15 or even 20,000 miles with a filter change. Well I don't buy it, I'll buy the standard cheap oil and change it at my regular time period that the manufacture calls for. Personally I would never buy a vehicle that didn't have its oil changed at the proper milage even it had $20/quart oil in it. Someone posted below about questioning gas engine not lasting 300,000 miles. Whats the big deal?? Especailly for a taxi good god those things run not stop! AS for sludge in a engine there are many more factors besides oil that are likely to cause sludge in an engine.
