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 is best for a 75000 mi engine?

For a 75,000-mile engine, a high-mileage motor oil is often recommended, typically with a viscosity of 5W-30 or 10W-30, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications. High-mileage oils contain additives that help reduce engine wear, seal leaks, and improve performance in older engines. Always check your owner’s manual for the specific oil requirements for your vehicle. If in doubt, consulting with a mechanic can also provide tailored advice.

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.
