Congratulations. And the secret to your success?

 

Nice!

 

On my 450 that had 30%+ more miles, it was Mobile 1 oil changes with a fresh Mann fleece filter every 10k miles and 60k mile transmission fluid changes. Changed the plugs, wires, and coils at 200k. That's pretty much it as far as regular maintenance. Had to replace the radiator, water pump, CPS's, and transmission turbine speed sensor along the way. Did but didn't need to fix the intake flappy. Just broke again after the initial fix. The car was killed by water intrusion. Had it not leaked water to the interior like a sieve, I would still be driving today.

 

Clean living!

Nothing magical. It's a good motor. Keep on top of oil changes. I did not do the same with the transmission, which went boom at 130K.

 

Rest in peace, faithful but flawed servant.

 

Im hoping for the same (but not the trans!). Oil and filter every 5k and trans every 25k miles although the first one went to 50k. I can only hope.

 

Congratulations yes keeping oil clean is important

 

Great job on the miles!

How can you say flawed? You got a ton of miles out of it. Seems pretty good to me.

 

I meant @BlownV8 's GL's untimely demise due to water intrusion. Such a shame.
