[QUOTE="russ010, post: 60925, member: 677"] I've got 2 vehicles that I've never had to work on engine wise - knock on wood... In 1995, I bought a Nissan p/u brand new. Still driving it today with 350,000. Oil changes every 3000 miles, changed to synthetic last year and now I change it every 4500. You can do it 6000 or more, but that really depends on your driving situation. Most of my time is spent sitting in traffic, so it's start stop, start stop - more engine wear... I've also got a 98 Honda Accord EX v6.. 360,000 miles, and no work done on it except for a transmission rebuild which I did last year. Well, my Dad did - he teaches auto technology in high school back home so he's got every tool and machine imaginable. I have never paid for an oil change, tire balance or any other "can you tell me what's wrong" service. I guess growing up around cars all my life has finally paid off - now I just need to get the wife to agree to building me a separate garage... [/QUOTE]
