High milage oil, what does that mean?

Is it made for High milage vehicles, or is it made for extended oil changes?

[daniel3507]

Oils designated "high mileage" usually have various additives in there such as seal softeners that make older, brittle rubber seals "plump up" a bit to reduce oil leaks around rear mains, valve covers, etc.

The only down side to this -- if you stop using these oils with the additives the seals will generally shrink up worse than they were before because they've stretched and all the dry-rot cracks have now expanded. It's a great marketing ploy really... use our product and it works... HAHA!! now you have to keep using it or your problems get worse!

Yeah, the same thing with TransX, should be labled "use before you SELL!"

Products do nothing than delay the expected, and too many suckers buying these vehicles, then have problems.
