I HAVE seen engines destroyed by NOT changing oil, just adding when it gets LOW. The oil gets contaminated with WATER/ACIDS/GASOLINE/CARBON/ETC!
OHV-V-8s would plug up the drain back holes in the heads, fill the valve covers, suck oil through the valve guides & starve the lower end!!!
Some would NOT change the oil, just change the filter & add a quart. One guy bragged about going 100,000 MILES, on 3 oil changes!!(COMPLETE IDIOT!)
Some cars with hydraulic lifters will tell you your oil needs changing, by their lifters ticking slightly, on a cold start. If you run your oil TOO LONG, it will start to consume MORE oil than usual!
Schools should have a MANDATORY Class, in COMMON SENSE REASONING!
