Perhaps there's not much talk about it because the stock oiling system, maintained with el cheapo Fram filters and Wal Mart oil, and changed at NORMAL duty intervals (if not even less frequently) will allow engines to survive to 300,000 miles and beyond. In many cases, the rest of the car is shot or the owner is sick to death of driving it before the 300,000 mile mark arrives.
