Well our 80, I got it from the original owner about 11 years ago.....
for free. It was just a few miles from rolling over to 306K miles.
We now have 380 something K on her now, runs like a singer sewing machine.
Has a manual gear box, uses a qt of oil about every 1200 miles. So not too
bad I guess.
Iam not to worried about the engine getting messed up burning some oil
fumes. How ever if it had a EGR, yeah that really messes up the intake
system.

The 82/83 240 had the oil separator and what a mess it made.

Lots of guys burn Waste Engine Oil, and that is OK?
