If anything they'll call bullshit on you. But yeah, probably won't get anything.

No problems other than my fault stuff.

im not going to go through 10 pages of stuff. i recommend changing the timing chain, flush the antifreeze, fuel filter, and always run 93 octane to keep the engine clean running.

never go past what the oil life monitor says, it should be taken as the absolute longest to go without a change

Steering clunk..(typical...), water in passenger floor, lights burning out n steering wheel control and window/unlock buttons, ic pump, lca bushings. Thats the only PROBLEMS ive had.

I disagree. I extend my oil changes 3-5k after oil life hits 0%. Even then, wen i change the oil its never dirty like it should be. Typically wen i drive normal before n did my oil changes, the oil would be almost black. Besides, my car burns oil, so i add a quart ever few thousand miles.

Wat amazes me the most is the bearings n balljoints. All factory. Had them chacked last week n all the techs who looked at em said they were as tight as can be. They tryed finding sumthing loose, but it was a no go. They were impressed especialky considering i had 20" wheels on this car for 3 yrs. I woulda thot for sure suspension would been worn up. I did replace shocks n struts at 140k

exactly what im thinking. i did replace more things due to the fact i wanted to. like the steering parts with moog, and engine/trany mounts to poly. otherwise..the car runs fine. a little jerking around 4k rpm when i accelerate. feels almost like an automatic shift... idk what it is.

thats the point, your suppose to change the antifreeze. its like saying..well the car is running great so i dont need to change the oil.

and the timing chain stretches and breaks more frequently then youd like to happen.

i understand but i don't know how to repair the timing chain . also if i take it into a shop that couple 100 dollar repair will turn into a couple 1000 dollars . i know it will because there will be other things THat need done like head gasket.

there should be a how to for the timing chain. and valvaline can do an antifreeze flush. atleast do the antifreeze flush, especially if you see a color change in your antifreeze

just trying to help make sure you make it to 300k
