Most people that either bought a car with 400,000km or even 400,000 miles on it is going to be a penny pincher and is no way going to put synthetic in it. I will put syntetic in my car untill the day I sell my car, that does not mean the cheep ass the buys my car with 200,000 miles on it, when I am done with it, won't switch over to dino oil........ I highly doubt the 400,000km cars you are seeing are 1st owner cars

Two of my good friends are original owner with cars that have over 400,000km. One's got a 1.8T 1999 Passat and the other has a 1990 Civic Si. They're still driving them. I don't think they're cheap asses since most of their surplus money goes toward traveling. btw, both cars uses regular oil, from day one.
