Hi Dan
     My vanagon has over 160,000 miles on it.  The engine was replaced by
the PO at 48,000 for unknown reasons.  The van drives daily 50 miles round
trip at between 70 and 75 mph.  It uses very little oil most of which leaks
out the valve covers.  One day I will get around to redoing the cover gaskets.

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
baffle them with bull sh*t.
