Major overhaul.
#21
Mine lasted a quarter million miles :P I have a buddy with three 4.7L trucks and he said his wife drives one 1000 miles a week, and he changes the oil with havoline every three weeks, and when the thermostat stuck and it overheated and cracked a piston, the crosshatches were still present on the cylinder walls after 250K

This is my dipstick at 5K, with about 12.5K on the filter.

Realized that I had not posted what we found when we pulled the pan off, also full disclosure this damage was NOT caused by any members of my family...it was a CraigsList find with "only a blown head gasket" and about 93k miles on the odometer.
