What's really interesting is that the higher temperatures at which the car companies are designing the engines to run causes the oil to coke and break down. This is causing dramatic increases in the build up of sludge in the engines and causing premature engine failure. Several manufacturers are having trouble with this. One of the ways to help is to use only synthetic oil. If you do a search there are many people having trouble with this (Toyota, etc.)
