Same here on my volvo xc70. Mobil 1 synthetic every time. At 250k ish 260? I don't remember, pulled the pan.

Clean as a whistle. Top end clean too.

- one thing to add though. Mostly highway miles. Long run times, enough to burn off condensation. I think the synthetic and the highway miles helped.
