Agreed, even with synthetic oil the soot loading is what makes oil "bad" in these engines. That happens 3-5k miles no matter what oil is in it. Dino is good for 3k. If you want a better oil and don't mind spending more, synthetic IS better but it still goes bad at 4 or 5k at the MOST! There is no extending OCIs safely in these motors, sorry.

Good to know, so thank you so very much for the help!
I know about soot, thus why me and the P.O. had a spat because he insisted using SM oil was fine in a CM engine.
I did basically a flush and drained all the oil, even in the cooler.
I run synthetics partly because of the O.C.I., but mostly because of the wear prevention properties, engine heat/cooling, and cold starts (including cold engine starts especially, when bearings are lacking in oil).
