umm....they do, you just have to put oil in them...

I tell yah, I'm simply stupified by the level of engineering these days. I really don't have any idea how a plain bearing motor can live for 15K+ miles running on the same oil, and half of that is under half its oil capacity. I can't tell you how many times I pulled less than 1/2 a quart out of the oil pan. The reason they brought the car in, was because the "oil change" light was coming on when they went around corners. That being the oil PRESSURE light.
Makes you appreciate a well designed engine. If a motor can live through that and still make it to 200K miles. Then if you actually MAINTAINED the car in a proper manor, I'm sure it would see a million miles without a hickup
