My 1988 240 has unknown miles as the odometer seized up at 29,000 miles. I put a few cycles of Wal Mart pure synthetic motor oil though it. The first two cycles dislodged some black lacquer type plaque that I found in the oil that I drained and totally clogging the flame trap. The last few oil changes have been clean and clear. I have no oil leaks and no oil consumption that I can see. I change my oil based on my rough estimate of milage. Due the hurricanes last fall I was not able to change the oil on time and the estimated milage went to around 10,000 miles. I just changed the oil two weeks ago. This time I changed to Mobile 1 as the Wal Mart in Florida City, FL cannot seem to keep the Wal Mart synthetic oil in stock. For what it is worth the flame trap seems crystal clear every time I check it out. I pull it; blow it off with compressed air and reinstall it.
