You may well be referring to our Villager ...
Almost 250k miles, mostly on house brand dino lubes (ST, AAP, etc), and even with extended OCIs (10k and 15k miles in succession recently) the wear attributes and cleanliness were all well in control. The extended OCIs were run with ST 5w-30 conventional lube.
I have run ST HDEO dino lube, and was just as satified with it as any other major HDEO for use in my Dmax.
Mighta been! Long time since I read the post and it's buried so I couldn't find to reference.
