Pennzoil High Mileage. Tried it just for kicks and was surprised when it eliminated the start-up blue smoke from my Lincoln.

None--I have always ran "normal" oil no matter what the mileage.
Mobil one 10-30 HM. It almost stopped the front seal leak on a 460 Ford motor.
Good replies folks and I hear good about both PHM and MaxLife
Quaker State high mileage
You must be talkin about "DEFY"

+1. When I need to purchase high mileage oil i will probably choose QS Defy, it's readily available in Canada.

Same here, only normal oil. But I have used thick normal and high zinc normal oil as required.

Max life 10w40 in a D16Y7, it eliminated the oil burning in that engine to none, which indicated to worn rings, upon ring replacement, engine didn't burn oil even on 0w20.

Next Gen Maxlife because it was super cheap otherwise I have never used HM oil.
MaxLife, for me.

Never have purchased a "high mileage" oil and do not intend to ever.
hmph..
Pre-Defy Quaker State 10w30 High Mileage w/ Slick 50 premixed.
heh.
when Defy was known as QSHM.
QSUD, QSGB, QSHM w/50.
Gone are those days.
it did fix the oil pan leak in my 05 Ranger. this was probably around 2008, haven't had an issue since and it has seen everything from 0w20 to SAE30 to 20w50.
