I've been doing this for about as long as Mobil 1 has been around. The car now has 206K on the original engine (rebuilt at 170k, 16 years ago). No oil leaks except a little through the valve covers. That's nothing new. It's leaked a little oil there since I bought it back in '72.
I may be wrong, but I believe that putting the best oil you can buy into your car is the best/cheapest means to extend the life of it. Conventional wisdom sez that sythetic oil is the best we have at the moment.
