My '92 teal is just getting to 293,000 and running strong. Burns no oil and oil is not dark at 2000 miles since change. These are incredible engines . Previous owner (only other owner since new) used only synthetic oil in it, and drove it close to 3000 mi. a month the whole time he owned it.
I can't imagine changing oil nearly once a month, but guess it was always fresh, unoxidized oil!! A rough, erratic idle was fixed with new temp sensor and two O2 sensors. Smooth as silk now, hot or cold!
