At the last oil change on my wife's 1987 Milano Verde, I decided to send a sample to Blackstone Laboratories.

The car turned 259,677 miles at the time of the oil change. Some specs on the car:

• stock, unmodified 3.0V6 engine internals
• unrebuilt
• same head gaskets since new(!)
• t-belts changed every 30k/3yrs whichever comes first
• hydraulic t-belt detensioner with oil hole plugged
• 10W-40 Kendall (mineral, not synthetic) oil every 5,000 miles
• Fram (gasp!) oil filter
• no top-ups required between oil changes
• only 91octane or higher (e.g. race gas) used throughout its life

See report below.

WOW. Goes to show that if treated right these engines will keep going.
