GARY C. KNAPP for The Virginian-Pilot
Wil Blanchard, who owns this 1956 Ford pickup and a 1977 Volkswagen
Sun Bug, changes his oil every 2,000 miles once the odometer hits
50,000. His pickup has more than 500,000 miles; the Bug, more than
100,000. ``You really can't go wrong changing the oil that often,''
he says.
Susan Bond displays her 1972 MG with 179,000 miles. She and her
husband Terry own several cars with more than 100,000 miles.
