    Had the usual 90,000 mile service performed when the odometer reached 180,000 and have been using synthetic oil since the car was new. Still have the original F/R brakes and shocks/struts. The only issue that I have with the car is around 170,000 miles, I have had to put a quart of oil every 1500 miles which is about every two weeks of driving and there's absolutely no leaks. Anyone with the similar oil issue I would be more than happy to hear from them as I will be taking my car in for an oil change and install a new set of Michelin Defender tires to replace the current Michelin Primacy MXV4, which Michelin does not manufacture that size anymore. This should be my last set of tires since it is good for 90,000 miles.

    Thank you. I've been very fortunate. What also help is the fact that out of my 130 mile daily commute, only 10 of those miles are city driving.
