Certainly but may I asked how many miles did you get before you got rid of them?
The first car was handed down to my sister, with 110k. I did replace a rear main seal on that, I forgot. She drove it for a while until it got traded in on a new car, and they sold the car on as I'd seen it for a feaw years after that. that was a 1.1l 4 cylinder Citroen. Managed to get it up to 110 mph on flat road, 120 ish downhill.
The second one had similar miles and got retired because it got me in trouble with the law too much, and I got something slower. My first Alfa Romeo. It ran perfectly.
Third was a smaller engined alfa, but that had to go when we got a baby, no rear doors on that. similar mileage.
Fourth was the one with the cracked sump. that cracked sump did lead to a low oil condition that killed the turbo. 5 cylinder diesel. It got totalled.
5th was my last diesel, the first I bought new. also around 110k miles until I got run off the road. I was going to replace the glow plugs on it that weekend.....
90 ish K on the current alfa, and 20k on the MG now. the MG is here only to save miles on the alfa, but I enjoy driving it a lot strangely. after 2029 we won't be able to put a new car with ICE in service anymore so want to keep what I got running and in good order.
2025 engine on Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 and regular oil changes, It will last every bit as long as its ancestors.
So we need to qualify “ lasting longer with fewer repairs”. What would the expectation be? What would make a person pull out a brand new 5.3 out of what could be a $80,000 or more vehicle because they were worried it would not be trouble free to a certain mileage. Suggestions?
