97 Plymouth Breeze Pan Drop

[JHZR2]

Was chasing down an oil leak in my mothers 97 breeze 2.0 which has 145k. This is the car that mostly gets 5-block commutes 4x/day, and 150mi trips once a month or so.

Most of it's life we have done regular non-severe OCIs on mobil 1 5w-30.

The leak turned out to be the cam position sensor gasket, but at least I got pics...

What were the OCI's?

Can't say Mobil 1 5W-30 does not keep an engine clean.

Wow, that pick-up tube looks brand new. Bottom-end looks real good.

M1 5-30 is an outstanding oil. I know several people using it with some very high mileage engines that stay clean as well.

Looks good! Interesting that your 2.0L has a cast oil pan, mine is steel and also very very dented... I think a cast one would have been broken by now.
