I used to know a master mechanic dad who kept his vehicle taken care of so well he had over 800, 000 miles on it. He loved her so much she out lived him.
That’s stayed with me ever since, he was an amazing person

I have a 99 Toyota Camry Solara with 412, 000 miles, cold air, runs great, rides great.

I know people like new flashy cars and trucks but me I take more pride in my odometer reading high numbers and running still great best I ever done on a gasser was a 04 ford ranger 3.0L had 636k miles and on a 1989 Cummins pick up got has over 730k still going.

I've changed my oil every 3000 miles since I bought my K1500 Z71 with a 5.7 new in 1994. Not even a puff of smoke on startup and other than 5 starters and a water pump, i haven't done a single repair to the engine in just under 400, 000 miles.

And replace the belt tensioner when you change the belt. The spring wears out over time, and improper tension causes bigger problems.

Got 350, 000 on my 2000 ranger and still runs like a champ. Scotty is exactly right.

Thanks Scotty your on the money there i have a 2010 Toyota Highlander and still goin 340, 000 miles runs like a clock ⏰️

Also beware of oil changing places. They can put the wrong grade oil or forget to put oil in all together. I have my own ramps to change the oil. Quick way.

"Don't Redline it..." 👀 my Civic Si loves it 😁 200k and still takes it like a champ haha

[jamescalifornia]

_BUT FIRST !_
You must have a well built vehicle to begin with 👌

I’ve got an ‘07 Camry with 311, 000 and I’ve personally drive it about 71, 000 miles. Other than some exterior damage, my car runs well. I plan on driving it for a very long time.

Once had a 2002 Honda Accord and never changedthe coolant. Sold it to a friend 18 years later with 184k and it's still running.

[Barneyrubble]

I have an 02 Silverado with 372k. Doing Great!!

[holywells]

I enjoy the story about the guy who has an old Volvo with over 2, 000, 000 on it !! Same owner.

[SKing]

I have had several cars, Americans and Foreign, last over 250k miles.
The highest was a 1992 mercury Cougar with 350k miles.
My secret besides maintenance is drive it like a dozen of eggs are on the roof.
Too many people pound the accelerator and break hard.
This all puts strain on the drivetrain and shorten its life.

Still doing the old every 3, 000 with my cars, that I learned 50 years ago. Engines stay happy that way.
