The guys on "Car Talk" (NPR) say that if you change your vehicle's oil TWICE as often as the manual recommends the engine will last indefinitely! I am pushing 100,000 on my Jeep Cherokee, have done all the normal scheduled maintenance, without fail. No major problems, and its a good kayak vehicle. I am going to push it as long as possible. I am thinking my next vehicle will be the one I try to keep forever and see if these guys are right. I will do another post here in 30 or 40 years to let you all know if that worked out. <G> The way things are sounding, it will probably be the Subaru.
