...research showed that ... with carbs tended to wash the oil out of the upper cylinder/ring pack and contaminated the oil with gasoline...if you weren't RELIGIOUS about oil changes, well... your engine would be all done by 80K - 100K.
There's plenty of reasons for EFI, but I'm guessing most of us change their oil every 3k-5k miles, so this isn't really one of 'em.

Interesting info, though. Thanks. 8)
