Today I replaced the valve cover gasket on my 92 Cavalier RS with the 2.2L due to an oil leak. Car currently has 230,700 miles on it. I bought it with 76,600 miles on it back in 2006. I've always done an oil change every 5,000 miles. I've used several different oils over the years. Quaker State, Pennzoil, Havoline, Trop Artic,and now Castrol HM. Some of the others were High Mileage oils and I believe they were all synthetic blends.
This is the first time I have had the valve cover off since I have owned the car. A shop had it off when they replaced the head gasket at about 81,000 miles but I never saw it off.
It does have some varnish but nothing that I would consider really bad. I just thought I would let you guys see what it looked like.
