You ever see the demonstration of the 'miracle oil' where they have the oil pan removed and the engine idles for hours?

In college, one of our little group had an early 60s Plymouth 6 cylinder that had the exact same juice in the crankcase as the radiator. Not clear when or how the fluids commingled; the car ran fine but the heater didn't. We got some free black paint and a few rollers, and the Texas sunshine kept it comfy in winter. (Yup, silver paint for summer.) It was still in service when I left for the Conflict overseas.

I recall a story from high school with a slant 6 Mopar engine. For some forgotten reason the engine dumped all the oil shortly after leaving the house. The engine ran for about 20 miles at road speed before locking up. A guy's sister was driving the car and did not notice anything until it stopped.
