knik Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I have done all maintenance religiously since I have had the car at 45K. It now has 145K. My 1997 has been a charm. i change the oil every 3500 miles and have changed all the other fluids on schedule as well. How many miles can I expect to get out of the original engine? It is not burning a drop of oil yet. I also drive like an old !Removed!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what you have said.....you should enjoy at least another 145k miles. B) Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
