Mike got quite a lot on his first engine... I'm at 31k on my first, Brad is around 60 on his first.

87,000 miles on my OE engine, and it was still running when I pulled it out myself.

My first engine and PCM died at 52K. Never missed an oil change and premixed from 19k on.

I met ELF in Las Vegas for the WHiV Meet and he told me he has 180,000 miles :SHOCKED: on original engine.
After break in he started using Royal Purple to present. He says he puts about 200+ miles per day and tracks it too.
It will be interesting to see what things look like once he has to tear it down.

did any of the engines that failed use synthetic oil (besides Royal Purple?)
