On the same idea, but with a reverse twist:  I changed the oil and
filter in my 73 BMW 2002 religiously every 3500 or 4000 miles.  I
babied that engine for the eight years I had the car.  And
guess what?  By around 96,000 miles I was throwing enough blue smoke
on deceleration to require an engine overhaul.

Anyone care to generalize from *that* experience???   :-)

[I know, I know.... Someone's going to say "what did you expect from
THAT car?"   :-) ]
