Did 56k in the defender. You could hear the turbo spooling down fr ages after it switched off. No big deal. Diesel turbos typically come in at pettry low revs. Nevr missed a beat. Sold it sadly.
well I did 10k intervals on mine. Modern oil is good stuff, and turbo bearings get better.

doesn't degrade under extreme conditions so much. Lasts longer and keeps viscosity better.

Gosh, You must be the last person here not to killfile dear old Adam.
I suspect he is an experimental AI, I am not sure a human could be quite so pathetic.

Can run with problems under very high temperatures, and low too, keeps the engine immaculately clean inside with no oil burn marks, has an infinitely greater resistance to shear (compression), etc. Should be used in all cars and in transmissions too.

Supercapacitors offer great advances.
There is lots going on in this field - utracapacitors or supercapacitors. Ultracapacitors combined with a battery is the answer to hybrids until batteries get developed even further. The capacitors take in nearly all the kinetic energy of braking and slowing down and can immediately give it back off. They will immediately take all of a charge and give the lot back off immediately too. They do not go wrong, deteriorate and will outlast the car. But existing Ultracapacitors hold 25 times less charge than a battery of similar physical size. There are breakthroughs that promise it will be about equal in this respect.
Advances are so good that it is feasible that ultracapacitors can just replace the battery set on a hybrid altogether. They can charge up in seconds from the grid.
They have great potential for use in elevators where the downward energy is stored to push the elevator back up. This would make a huge impact in the energy in the running of millions of elevators and other electrical equipment. Knock-on effects are great.
"China is experimenting with a new form of electric bus (capabus) that runs without powerlines using power stored in large on-board electric double-layer capacitors, which are quickly recharged whenever the electric bus stops at any bus stop (under so-called electric umbrellas), and fully charged in the terminus. A few prototypes were being tested in Shanghai in early 2005. In 2006, two commercial bus routes began to use electric double-layer capacitor buses; one of them is route 11 in Shanghai.
In 2001 and 2002, VAG, the public transport operator in Nuremberg, Germany tested a hybrid bus which uses a diesel-electric drive system with electric double-layer capacitors.
Since 2003 Mannheim Stadtbahn in Mannheim, Germany has operated an LRV (light-rail vehicle) which uses electric double-layer capacitors to store braking energy."

"The Zenn Motor Company is waiting until a new power storage technology is ready before it releases the vehicle, called the cityZENN, which will achieve 80mph speeds and have a range of 250 miles.
Rechargeable in five minutes, the vehicle will use ultracapacitors from Texas-based EEStor instead of conventional lithium or lead acid batteries."

"Based on these claims, a full charge should give the capacitor sufficient energy to drive a small car 300 miles (480 km). Although the technology should allow very fast charging (e.g., 5 minutes), "
