I've got a '99 explorer with the 4.0 OHV engine with 252,000 miles. Until I checked the oil two days ago, I've never seen it use any oil. I changed the oil at 250,000, and most of the miles since have been highway. Is there anything that I can do to help it? It's not bad, but if there's anything I can do to keep the 'ole girl kickin' longer I'd like to know.
Should I just count myself lucky to have gotten so far without this happening or what? Is there some kind of additive that can help mitigate the issue? Thanks!
