I can say 17 years later, it consumed no oil whatsoever for the majority of it's life. It consumed a quarter of a litre during our last - and it's final - run from Vic to Perth in 2022, the first time ever it consumed oil. Motor is unopened, 342,000km, 10+ Nullarbor trips, and the car has been put out to pasture now to be cleaned up and cared for, and the motor still works.

This is a controversial method, because it is completely opposite to what most manufacturers recommend. Much like the greatest book of the 20th century, Weston A. Price's remarkable "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" (read this if you haven't had kids yet); the proof is in the photo's. I remember the joy of going through a quarter of a tank of fuel in 5 minutes with our brand new car, doing the Motoman break in properly - I felt like a complete madman.

Here is the link, get ready to go back to the early 2000s web page design.

This is really a separate forum thread topic - be interested to hear all your views after considering this, as I look up to many of you mechanical legends.

Pretty much what my Mitsu Adelaide R & D friends describe......... Adelaide Hills was ideal for this with my 3.8 AWD Magna.
