We get old ladies who barely drive the speed limit, the kind to do 40mph on the highway when the speed limit is 65, they can go longer between oil on regular dino oil since they dont really stress the motor. In fact ive seen thise old ladies able to go longer than some who use full synth just cuz of their slow driving habbit. My STI by nature burns oil, by the time 2000 miles come i burnt 1 qt. Subaru only warrenties if its 1qt every 1000 miles so being at .5 qt i am sol on oil my motor eats. My mirage so far at 600 miles has burned only maybe a 10th of a qt. But i dont follow conventional engine/car break ins after the research i read and copied.
I don't get what you want to say with the last sentence, do you want to reexplain?
