We put 142k on a Cruze 1.4T … transmission fluid plan is 30k … but I did it at 20k bcs it was very easy …
Other than planned/unplanned plastic - (valve cover at 100k - very clean) did well considering who drove it hard - my son …
Once again the experts here don’t mention how many they owned …
I service my Mother-in-law's 2016 Buick Encore 1.4T, and it sits at 132k right now. I maintain it meticulously.
OCI is 5k/6months. (Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 and Pennzoil Platinum 5w30)
Transmission is at 50k. The manual calls for 45k, but 50k is easy to remember, and an extra 5k isn't going to destroy the transmission.
All other items, such as engine air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, etc., are as called for.
My thoughts on the 1.4T
***I don't think it's the engine itself; it's everything that's attached to it that's crap.***
Work I've done on it from ~50k until now.
1. A/C compressor replaced.
2. Valve cover (Diaphragm ruptured), Intake Manifold (Check valve gone), PCV tube from the intake to the Turbo. (Crap PVC system all around)
^^^^All of #2 at the same time. It's the check valve in the intake that lets go, and then it cascades from there until it starts running rough and setting codes. (As a side note, it was shiny and spotless under the valve cover.)
3. Thermostat housing
4. Water inlet
5. Wastegate Solenoid
6. Camshaft position actuator solenoid seals (Puking oil out of them)
7. #7 is about to be the timing cover. It has started leaking from the cover somewhere behind the A/C compressor bracket. I'm putting this off to see how bad it gets.
Luckily, I haven't had to do the Oil filter/cooler assembly. (Very common on the GM 1.4T)
I repaired so many GM 1.4T engines with the same issues at the car lot. Most of those I could forgive, they were auction cars that were rode hard and put up wet. I can't forgive this Buick, it has been well-maintained.
This is an insane amount of work to have to do on a vehicle to make it to 132k. I hate the GM 1.4T with a passion.
Anyway,.....how was your day?
. Problem solved. Just explain to her that you have a nominally high inheritance that you received from your grandmother that would be going to her and you are not against her having it but if she can't manage to care for an automobile respectfully and honestly there's no way you're going to turn her loose with 10 million dollars 
. Now before you have this conversation what you need to do is take a small thumbtack and put underneath your big toe and then put your shoes back on and every time you're tempted to break character or laugh or giggle I want you to slightly step down on that tack to stay in character. You will thank me later.
