I'm sure it is but its just one of those advertising gimmicks to get people to buy there oil. Personally I know I would lose at least one receipt for an oil change over a 300,000 mile period. I'm sure if your missing even one receipt they will void the warranty. Its just like dealing with the a dealer you do anything to the car warranty void, you don't have proof of all oil changes warranty void.

best and easiest thing to do is to get an envelope and put all your receipts in the envelope and stick it in the glove box or if you have a safe or a file cabinet put it in there.

as far as it goes it's pretty damn good oil too. i used the max life semi synthetic on my old monte carlo and on the first change from conventional to the max life i noticed the valve tick was virtually gone while using the same weight oil that i had always been using. and realistically i was using valvoline conventional to begin with.

an ls can go 300k pretty easily. stockish and not abused of course

[FasstChevys]

I'm also guessing that most people don't keep a vehicle long enough to put 300,000 miles on it.

Yeah. The pissing contest with the neighbors to have the latest and greatest consumer bullshit has people leasing a new car every 3 months.

my coworker has about 295K miles on his 99 1500 with a 5.3L V8
he's on his second tranny (first one gave up at 180K miles)
he's always using mobil 1 in it

Yep, and that's a big reason why - absolutely.

My grandpa had an '01 1500hd 6.0 that he put over 300k on with extensive idling on drilling locations. A few failed alternators and a water pump failed I believe. He used mobil 1 aswell. Had a 4l80e, so it lasted

I didn't know you could get the 6.0 liter in a 1/2 ton.

My dad had a 99' Bonneville that he put just over 250K miles on before he sold it last year. He had to the change the water pump and alternator a couple times along with the oil every 4k miles but other than that and maintenance nothing was ever done to the car. That thing ran just as flawlessly as the day he got it with 100k miles. I find that pretty amazing considering it was a 3800 and not a LTX or LSX motor.

about the only thing that can take down a 3800 engine is a tall cliff...they will last damn near forever if you do the proper maintenance.

+1 My mother's 3800 has 235,XXX miles and is running strong as the day she bought it and still gets 25 or so mpg! GM builds motors that last (With exception to a few )
