I wonder what the current highest mileage is with an original motor.

Current mileage on current motor is about 90K miles. Burns about a 1/2 quart of oil at the very end of the oil's life (5000 miles). No rattle on start.

Been religious with regular maintenance and replacing items as needed. Been a relatively hassle free car other than the motor. Just last year did a trip from MA to GA without one issue

Ohhhh this is so good to hear lol

I am at 186,XXX now, the only major work done on my motor being timing guides and mechanical adjusters (both done at 164k miles)

My S4 currently has 106k on all OEM timing components. Burns 1/4 in 8k miles before oil change. I use M1 and a qtr of Swepco oil improver with moly on every oil change since 2004.

How are all the pixels on your screen still that good? Mine are like 1/4th there

**badger.** · 04-22-2016 11:12 AM

All my pixels are still there. From your handle, are you in a B5? All the B5's I've ever been in (small sample size though, maybe 3 or 4) the screens are all missing tons of pixels.

Why would you run 8k OCIs?
