200,000 Mile Club

[sorka]

Still just a baby, but our '95 SC400 has 280K miles on it with no break downs or repairs of any sort. Toyota really is the master of reliability.

[sdtundra]

Our 1998 Honda Accord has 208,000 miles.

Those old Toyota trucks and the 22re are extremely reliable. When it dies, just rebuild the block and keep goin!! Lets go 1,000,000 miles

[patsparks]

That's an idea, anyone want to start the "1,000,000 miles and still going strong" thread?

[BAllanJ]

hey, patparks...Might be easier to do a nice metric target... get a gigameter out of one...
1 Gm is about 600,000 miles.

as for the title of the thread... 160,000 miles is about 200 Mm (megameters) for a midway goal between 100 kmiles and 200 kmiles.

That's interesting. How often (miles interval) do you change engine oil and what filter do you use?

I did not see you list transaxle oil change.

190 divided by 38= every 5k.

Thats odd it would burn oil at all with 5k synthetic intervals.

After 190,000 miles there's likely to be plenty of scoring in the cylinder block. The oil control ring may not be able to provide a good seal any more. It's probably not worth dismantling the engine to replace the rings, though. According to the service manual you have to drop the engine and transaxle, and remove a bunch of components just to be able to do that, before separating engine from transaxle and dismantling the engine. The labour is way more expensive than the value of saving the oil.

The alternative is that the rear bearing seal has failed and started leaking the oil. If it leaks a quart in 5,000 miles, that would be my more likely explanation. The rear bearing seal controls the end of the crankshaft that connects to the transaxle, leaking onto the torque damper assembly.

You can tell which it is by checking for oil drips. Someone once said that there's a fibrous pad somewhere in the vicinity of the engine (for noise damping, perhaps?) which could be absorbing some leaked fluid. Oil being burned in the engine has a distinct smell to it.

So nobody thats posted so far has actually gotten 200,000 miles?
I should be posting in this thread again in about 4 months.
