so all you do is regular oil change and tire rotation, thats it?

I extend time between oil changes. Usually 2-4k miles after i hit 0% oil life.

Driving as a job is AWESOME! I'm headed out right now to MS. 900 miles by tomorrow night. Piece of cake. I'm glad I caught this before you hit the big mark.

I have 975,000 on my truck. It will make 1,000,000 without being reuilt. It's right around 800hp too.

My 2.2 ecotec supercharged sunfire has 240,000km on it. Blower added on @ 120,000km. Hopefully this 2.0 lnf will hold up just as long.

Did he hit it yet?! this is getting tense lol. This is pretty sweet to know my car's got hope to last awhile tho lol. Word of advice man, you should change ur oil at about 30% oil life or even 35-40%. I NEVER let mine drop below 25%.

im at 144 and i run mine to 0% and have since the beginning because im not a fan of wasting money. sure their are weiners that think they need to do 3k oil changes but if its all highway and youre a grownup who doesnt feel the need to gas it everywhere you go its unneeded. if hes at 200k and its runnin strong i doubt he needs your advise. hell i havent even done a major service since 60k. only thing i did at 100 was change the plugs and fuel filter.

If you want to know about your oil, you could run it to 0% and get an oil analasis. It will tell you how much life is left in the oil.

I wait longer and alota times the oil isnt even black. Ntm, my car burns oil. Theres nothing here that makes me believe this car is gonna quit anytime soon. I do need sway bar bushings again.... they only last 75k-100k miles for me.

well considering he is at 198,900 and still going strong i would think that his process of maintenance is the right way to go lol

The more miles I put on my car, the less excited I get

Hopefully, your car will lay the path to show us that we can get 200K miles out of car with no problems as long as we keep it maintained
