Any idea how long the engine is good for?

McFly · 10-09-2012, 06:13 PM

Just curious if anyone knows any super-high mileage Z's out there (or have heard of any). I'm wondering what to expect in terms of longevity.

thanks!

I have heard of VQ's last up to 300K when proper maintenance was always performed, no reason to not expect a long life from your engine too

Mine will last at least 8 years or 120,000 milkes. Thats when my Nissan extended warranty expires!

My first engine lasted 2900 miles. I hope to get 4-5 times out of this one.

Started new oil consumption test last week.

All depends on how you treat it. Some folks had issues with oil consumption fairly early in the life of the engine so that's hard to predict. However, I think it's a low % of owners with the issue, especially with later models.

someone calculated this in a thread a year or so ago.

was something like exactly 114,921 miles on synthetic oil and only 82,544 miles on regular oil.
