Mobil1 in both my rigs. 135K on the Trooper before it ended up upside down at 9300RPM

and still strong. After I rebuilt it, I lost the oil press line and pumped it dry. put the 1qt I had in her and ran to the store. That engine was still running strong after 50K of that kind of treatment when I pulled it to fit the SBC. I'm sold.
