149,000 miles on a friend's....2002. ALL original (bone stock). Still has the original spark plugs, fuel fiter, etc.....

I'm hired to do the service on it this winter. NOT looking forward to it!

 

55400 on a 2004. yeah, its a whole lot for the yr but i've enjoyed every single mile.many thousands more to come

 

30,000 on my '01. There is no reason it won't last 200,000 if you take care of it.

 

For clarification, I should have posted that my engine came up with a rod-knock at 94,500 miles so I know have a new, 2002 engine in it. It was my fault as 'bad' oil and/or my lack of oil changes made for two rods with scored bushings and 'burned' crank journals. The rods did not break but they would have if I had kept on driving it as the oil pressure zeroed out. I replaced the oil pressure sender and the oil pressure came back but 500 miles later, the rod-knock became evident.

The original engine ran a 12.531@108.69 1/4 with a 5 lb pulley, CAI, etc. and ran several dyno runs with the best at 401.9/502.1. Still breaking in the new engine and it has the same mods on it as the original. This engine will get Mobil 1, 5W20 and more oil changes. I d/k if the RP 5W20 was part of the problem but I'm not going with it again.
