Personally, if I bought a good used engine with less than 75,000 miles, I might consider switching to Valvoline engine oil. If you have not noticed the commercials on TV or the internet car sites, they now offer up to a 300,000 mile warranty on your engine if you use their oil and follow their rules.

Not a bad deal really. I currently use Mobil 1 or Royal Purple synthetic engine oil, but I may consider swapping to Valvoline oil in my 1995 Buick Roadmaster Wagon, it has the Chevy 5.7L engine in it. With only 72,000 miles on it, and runs terrific. Believe it or not it gets 21 mpg on the highway.

Regardless of whether you still have the original engine in your car or you are installing a used engine in your car. If you can prove the engine has less than 75,000 miles on it, than you qualify for a 300,000 mile warranty.

An ideal situation to start using an oil with a warranty such as the one mentioned would be if you had an engine failure, and bought one of the low mileage used engines available from a quality engine supplier. The ‘fresh‘ engine would then have a 300,000 mile warranty on it. I’m sure you would need proof to document this considering it is not the original engine that came in the car. That should not be a problem. The better engine supply companies have proof of every detail of the particular engine you buy just for those purposes.

I’m not going to plug a bad product or company. That stuff does not work well for me today, or for the 25 years I owned my own repair shop. It is not my style to take money from people who are not on the level. I worked hard to make my shop the most trusted repair shop in the Tri-county area. GotEngines.com works hard to be the leader in their field. Simply put, they run a top notch outfit from the top to bottom, inside and out. The owner is good egg too. Or I would not be writing these blogs. End of rant.
