I had a friend years ago who had a Jaguar XK140. It had something like a 12 qt sump. Leaked and burned so much all he did was add oil over the 15 years he owned it...Never changed it!

Nope, both times have been with the cheapest oil the dealer will throw in there. The car is really quite sad. The paint is loaded with swirl marks, and the interior is loaded with trash and ashes. I eat and smoke in my car, but I am pretty meticulous about cleaning it out. He's also rolling on racing slicks, although he may hold the record for tire life from a set of Potenzas. Everything is coming along nicely though. He just hit a deer, so the body shop buffed the whole car to blend the paint, and even gave the interior a bit of a detail. He is about to buy some Lexani rims for it, and that will mean new rubber. It's not my taste, but to each their own.
