Good question. I personally have not seen any evidence to the contrary, so I am going to assume they do, until I see something otherwise. I would imagine that there are probably some additives in the oil to help make seals reguvinate seals and stuff like that. Most people will call snake oil but i have personally seen these oils reduce oil consumption in a vehicle.

Best oil for 2005 Toyota solara?
Depends on your mileage really. A full synthetic oil is always best but, if your car is high mileage and has the annoying oil leak syndrome, you may want to go to any of the variety of oils that are sold as 'high mileage' oils. These are oils that are sold for vehicles in excess of 75,000 miles and contain a higher ash content to contain those annoying leaks. Check out Kmart or Walmart and your high mileage oils are clearly marked on the manufactures label...

What motor oil for high mileage jeep Cherokee?
Just a plain multiviscosity oil will be fine as long as you change it every 3000 miles or 6 months along with the filter. I don't personally believe that the "high milage oils" are any better than the rest. I DO absolutely believe that regular lube, oil, and filter changes make a big difference.

Is high mileage oil better for your car than regular oil?
I assume "High mileage oil" refers to oil that does not need to be changed for a "high mileage". What might be called "long life oil". The point is not that it's better, or worse, for the car. The point is that it lasts longer. This means it does not need to be changed as often. This means the car will use less oil during it's life, generating less toxic waste (Used engine oil is "Very Nasty Stuff"!) to be re-processed. TO sum up, it's not better for the car, but it is better for you, me, everyone else, and the planet we all live on. There are oils that are formulated for high mileage engines.
