High mileage oil - yes / no ?

[StuP]

I have an 02 tahoe with around 180k on it. It sits as a spare 99% of the time, probably a thousand miles a year, if that. So far I've put conventional oil in every 3k. It's a great vehicle I want to keep going as long as possible, (plenty of spares available, not too many electrics, tough & versatile).

So who would use high mileage oil or synthetic instead of good old dino ?

Standard oil is pretty good nowadays

I use high mileage synthetic, in my older gas burners.

I use Valvolne high mileage synthetic blend in my 05 Silverado. About 290k. It don’t get driven much.

Really...at what point today are engines considered "high mileage ??"

My 02 avalaon has 280+ and it was my daily for years.
Used high mileage for the last 100k or so. Once my cars hit 180kish miles, I switch to high mileage synthetic and I also stop fixing dents lol

I just run whatever is speced for the motor. I have a 92 f150. I just run what it says on the cap. Nothing more nothing less.

I've used Synthetic on my Hemi 4x4 Since, I bought it in 09 it's an 06. It had 33k on it and now it has 168k roughly..My O7 Jeep Wrangler has a new Jasper remanufactured 3.8, it now has 14k after 3 years. I change both at 4k miles and have never changed the weight of the oil...They both run great..
