My example, 1998 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 pick-up used as a work truck with long stints in the SoCal desert doing off-road route condition surveys. Went over 200k w/o major incident to the motor.
First 100K it got 5W-20 Motorcraft oil and filters at dealers serviced at 6K OCI per warranty and fleet requirements. No oil consumption, no issues passing smog.
100K to 150K it got 10W-30 at dealer service dept, same OCI. Around 130K it lost the cam position sensor. Repaired and it ran better than ever.
Around 150K it went in for a bi-annual smog inspection which required a chassis dyno load and then acceleration load of some kind. I did not look at params and was not allowed in the dyno bay.
But, I was across the lot facing the front of the truck with the door open and I could not believe noise that motor was putting out at load and speed. It was really loud and thrashing.
Next change I went to Delo400 15W-40 at local drive through Chevron Oil Stop (they accepted employers CC). Motor quieted down significantly and mileage remained the same. Still no oil consumption of note. Barely a 1/2 qt between changes.
I don't like noise. It means mechanical bits a flailing away. Might run OK, but why listen to it...
I did change up to a full 1 qt filter at 100K. And since it was driven in 120*+ heat at low speed for hours at a time with the A/C on in nasty dusty conditions, I never knowingly exceeded the 6K OCI.
Truck was still running fine when it went off for fleet auction.
Bottom line, run what makes the operator and the motor happy
Always use good oil, at least the MFGs recommended until warranty is up.
