I've had my Dodge Dakota since 2000.  I've got 202,000 miles on it.  For =
the past five or six years, I've changed the oil when I've gotten tired =
of adding make up oil.  Before that, I used whatever was cheapest at the =
parts store I happened to find myself, or whatever the lube shop put in =
it.  This is generally called abuse of a perfectly good engine.  I will =
keep running it this way till it keels over and I can replace it with a =
Jeep, because at this point I'm looking for an excuse to buy a knew =
vehicle.  I've had 3 fender-benders that left me laying in the back =
seat, and the thing is no longer comfortable to ride in.  The front =
bumper air dam is held on by a ratchet strap.  I quit caring a while =
back.

The point is, "I used oil X, and the motor didn't die" is not a =
particularly helpful statement.

One thing that I always made sure of, is that I picked the right =
viscosity for the season I changed the oil in.  10W40 in summer, and =
10W30 in winter.  Though, I don't think it mattered, because I would run =
the w30 most of the way through summer, and then the w40 well into the =
winter.
