Im new to Chevy cars, matter fact this is my first american car...by the im an asian brotha...pretty surprising seeing me drive a cobalt ss. anyways im planning on keeping this car till it dies, Bout time im done paying of the ride...she probaly would have close to 100,000 miles...I had this car for about 8months and it has 14,500 miles and its a 2007(i drive alot due to my job...) So would this car last 150,00-200,000 miles?...I had 3 oil changes since i had the car back on october 3, 2006?...

 

The ecotecs can handle 1400hp.

 

dint think that quit answered his questions. yeah if you take car of it, and do everything you need to, it will be a long lasting vehical. i can see 150-200 thousand miles

 

ditto

200,000 if you always drive it nice and keep it WELL MAINTAINED!!! <-- that is key to long life of ANY engine. They beauty of any engine is that they keep putting out power til the day they die. Just keep it maintained and it will treat you well.

 

thanks man...i love this car..and just wanted to last forever

 

You may want to consider moving over to full synthetic oil. It costs a bit more at oil change time, but it makes the parts last longer.
Other than that, what everyone else is saying. Regular maintenance, don't abuse it, address any minor car problems immediately so they don't get worse

 

accelerating every now and then is not abusing it right?..i dont really race

 

all ss/sc use synthetic, but the 2.4's and 2.2's use regular, do as he says and switch to synthetic, but remember, once you go synthetic...you never go back hahaha, words to live by.

 

Depends, ARe you accelerating at 3/4 throttle from a stop light to hear the tires bark every once in awhile, or are you going full WOT on the interstate up to 120mph every day?

 

doood beat the **** out of it and have a good time this car is a ******* ROCK ...as long as you keep it well maintained you will be absolutely fine

my car to date has been through some of the most extreme ****
not to mention daily weather in vegas 105+f

stomp on the ******!!!
its what GM inteneded.........I dont want to even pull up the rigorous tests that were performed on these engines but trust me they will easily see 200,000 and more with normal mantainence

Good luck

 

Just take care of it and it will take care of you. Treat it like **** and don't be surprised if it does the same to you.

 

Look at the other threads on here, there are some performance mods that extend engine life. Like running it colder and such.

 

this cracked me up
