We get 250,000 or so miles before we change the vehicles, the last one
(diesel) was exceptionally clean internally before sold it, but that
was run on fully synthetic oil from new and oil changes at 12000 miles
religiously.

The current (diesel) van was new in September 04, we have done nearly
30,000 miles so far with one oil change at 20,000 miles as scheduled.
That is currently on semi-synthetic but that's because the dealer
didn't do as he was told and fill it with the oil we supplied....
