I logged in average myself in a day non team at around a 1000 miles a day for one year only 7 days off.

How did you manage that if you were crossing DOT scales at the state lines??

There used to be a guy at the local fair that had an older car that he swore had not had an oil change in years and he drove it to all the fairs in like a 3 or 4 state area. I can't remember the exact figures now or the name of the product he sold but it was an accessory oil filter with lines that mounted on the inside fender well (remember them) and the adapter for where the original filter screwed on. It used toilet tissue as the filter medium and you did not change the oil, you just took the cover off and removed the T.P. and put in a new full roll and top the oil off. That oil in that engine looked like new as there was no dirt at all in it. My dad bit on it and I do remember the Rambler he drove had about 40,000 miles on the same oil. If I had not seen it myself I would not have believed it.
