78 volare 2bbl slant six. I bought it 2 1/2 years ago with only 16k miles on it. Immediately put it on mobil 1.
Sat in an older person's garage for around 10 years.
It was using a qt of m1 every 700-900 miles due to a rear main seal leak.
Put arx in with the m1 ran it for 2300 miles. Did rinse with pennzoil 15w-40.
Changed oil to delo 400 synthetic 5w-40 ( I couldnt find delvac in this one horse town I live in) and a donaldson synthetic media filter.
2300 miles on this oil change and it had to have a qt added at 2100 miles. Oil is still very clean. I am going to sample and test at 5k miles and see if its good for some more miles.
The engine is much quieter with the 5w-40.

I intend to keep this car till there are no longer any parts available to fix it or it rusts down around the wheels. I hate computer cars. Plus I refuse to pay more for a new car than I did for my house in 1984.
