Getting back to the original question: outside of non-engine related things like tracking down a phantom slow coolant leak my engine with 209,000 miles has no other engine noise than what's suppose to be heard and burns or leaks very minor amounts of oil. It is a very strong engine. I change the oil a lot too, by color as well as mileage. If I don't like the color of it - it's changed.
