Post by mx3joyride »

I have 128,000 miles on my car, how much longer do you think I can go before my engine blows?

i think it depends on the way the motor has been treated/taken care of...

Start using synthetic oil with a double guard filter. Just an extra pre-caution....also, this has nothing to do with ur engine, but change your transmission fluid...i did and ive got 128,000 also and it shifts waaaaay smooth.
