I'm in process of rebuilding the engine in my Giulietta Spider and I'm amazed 
at how much goo/coke/crud is in crevices.  I rebuilt the engine in my Alfetta 
after over 120,000 miles and 12 years, all on conventional oil, and it was 
"clean as a whistle".  I don't know why the difference, besides age of the 
engines.   Suspect the oil in the Giulietta (it is very low mileage) was 
several years between changes, whereas I changed oil and filter on Alfetta at 
4,000 miles.  Used Valvoline 20W-50.
