I alternate between Mobil1 and Castrol Syntec each oil change, 5w-30... oh, and I ABSOLUTELY use no additives

I used Mobile 1 in the past, but since I never abuse my car and I always changed oil 3k miles, I think I don't really need Mobile 1. Now, I am using Castrol High Milleage all the time!

maaan to tell you the truth.. the motor runs better than my friends 240 with 150K... no misfire.. no nothin.

the previous owner really took care of it and kept it bone stock.

try gettin 145mph with your 240. i did. with an intake and exhaust.

i havent seen any KAs runnin that much. but it all depends on the driver and how he takes care of it. = oil change every 2500m and injector cleanin.. lucas.. premium fuel... bla bla bla.
