I guess the other oils would/could have kept the engine going for another couple of hundred thousand miles

I am and have been quite happy with my Mobil 1. As a matter of fact, my LX 470 has 180,000 miles and uses absolutely no oil between 5000 to 7000 miles oil change intervals

I want to change the truck but the dang thing is so strong and trouble free that I would now like to see how far I can push it before getting bored and selling it.

Well having seen this car in person, you'd be stunned to believe it has that many miles on it. You cannot tell. I repeat, you cannot tell.

I thought I was good doing 500,000 kms on an old Subaru wagon (Liberty/Legacy) but on a high speed performance car = awesome

Best advert for Mezger yet !

This means that, based on my average annual mileage, my Turbo should last at least another 77 years!

Do you have any photos of the car + interior? Very curious to see how the car has aged with 431k!
