Interesting point. Changing the oil in an old car that has been abused can cause the motor to blow. Sometimes the only thing holding it together is the accumulated goo. New oil can dissolve this with catastrophic results. If a car uses a lot of oil just add more and change the filter once a year or so. I had a buick that burned a quart with every tank of gas and that's all I did to it and it lasted me till I sold it. My '85 900T had really nasty black oil in the crankcase when I got it. However, since I changed it it has stayed a nice honey color. Thank God. I knew it's previous owner personally and I was scared to buy it for that reason. But for $400 I couldn't resist. At least he only had the car a year. Hopefully it had better care before he got it. It is my first SAAB and I really love it. I got it at 112,000 and now it has 115 with the oil still looking good.
