Really, aside from the cleanliness and longevity of the motor. How much of a difference does it make on the performance or power output of the motor if you have old burnt up oil that is broken down still in the motor?
Percentage wise how much power do you think you loose from having worn out motor oil that needs to be changed? 10%? 20%? more? -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.

I put 16k on my vw and never changed oil just added and I didn't notice any difference.. I'd never.do that now but I was 16 and poor than lol. I think the biggest factor would be oil filter. I think one would brake down completely and mess things up. I know oil has oh I can't think of the word to protect your engine and keep from build up and slug. I mean running sluggy oil would play a huge roll into how it would perform but to what degree is unknown.
