Hit 350,000 miles today

[bbhero]

Well officially hit 350,000 miles today.

Got some Eneos CVT fluid to change that here in a few days.

Car still runs great and has no leaks motor or transmission.

Have to say it's been quite a good car. Still good to drive.

Has the original starter and alternator.

Will have to replace spark plugs and serpentine belt coming up and drain and refill radiator too.

Got the car with 39,990 miles. In Nov 2012. Been paid off for a good while now.

Not too shabby.

Well not many automatic transmissions get that far, and few would believe that a CVT could go better than 200k.

There's a guy on the Maxima forums who was at 400k miles on his CVT....

I guess there must be some truth to doing the maintenance? hmmm?

 

[bbhero]

Could be man...

I didn't change be the CVT fluid until 283,500 miles... Definitely a good idea to have done that. Ran quieter after doing rhat.

The Eneos CVT fluid definitely helps the transmission run quiet.

Best of luck, and inspiring to us with "new" cars with only 110,000

Correct man... The ol Grey Goose.

Kicking butt still. Still pulls very good too.

They always build a few that'll never die! You sure got lucky, she's a keeper.

According to BITOG-that transmission should have had self destructed as soon as you left the showroom. So-you take that advice on here-for about as much as what you paid for it.

 

[bbhero]

Well... That's true to an extent CKN.

There has been a lot of good advice I have gotten on here...

Changing the power steering fluid... Which I never had even thought about until I read and heard that on here.

 

[tblt44]

What Brand and model is that car

 

[bbhero]

A 2008 Nissan Altima VQ two door coupe

 

[pbm]

350K is an accomplishment on any car....good for you bb...

 

[ripcord]

Lots'a highway miles?

 

[bbhero]

Lots'a highway miles?

Yeah that's a very good point rc. I'd bet 95 percent of the miles have been open highway driving.

That definitely helps with temperature of transmission being a lot lower.

 

[wemay]

Congrats!!!
And with often used CAM2 SB too. Not too shabby at all.

And less shock and stress on that rubber band in there, too, LOL.

 

[Nick1994]

Congrats, was there a reason you waited so long to change the CVT fluid?

 

[bbhero]

And less shock and stress on that rubber band in there, too, LOL.

Ahhh I redline the car darn near daily... Seriously.

Like yesterday passing a cat on Rte 5.... I did that.

I push the car hard a lot.

. Not many of those Altima coupes on the road anymore. I have 351k mi on my GS400. You'll catch me quickly as I'm only 8 miles from work now instead of 44.
