It's all good at 200,000 miles

BTW deermagnet - I can relate. We have 1/4 mil showin on the 93 TLC. The only thing ever replaced was 1 brake rotor & the AC clutch (& assundries with regular maintenance: plugs, wires, belts, ...). There's plenty on it that don't work tho: 'lectric windows (3 out of 4 broke), reverse lights (tranny 'puter don't talk to the engine 'puter anymore - temporary fix for the past 5 years is wiring the reverse lights to the rear window defogger - don't laugh, it gets me thru inspection every year), trip odo, ...

Still reliable transportation & it'll go ANYWHERE!!!

That is awesome and says a lot about general maintenance. Well done and congrats on the 200k club. I still have 60k to catch up to you!!!
:dance: :group:

GREAT STATS...I've got about 40k then I'm there with ya, But I'm not the original owner, But a proud one since 2003

Sounds like a match made in heaven. Sorry for the oil loss. Have you tried the PV 1061 by Purolater? If not give it a shot. Also, change the oil filler cap gasket, together these changes can make a significant difference. Happy motoring!

I have kept every receipt for every oil change, maintenance, repair etc.. Now to compile them and create a list of my own! :work:

WOW, that is all I can say....WOW!!!! I don't think I will make it to 200K, at 4K a year, I doubt my VX will be in one piece in 20yrs. Especially with the way I drive it;) I am meticulous about the maintenance, and I am the 2.5th owner, carfax shows one original owner, and then it was temped for 6 months, I assume it was the dealer, but not sure. It was pristine when I got it, but I do not think it saw anything offroad beyond a driveway or the beach.
Being in the military and working in a nuclear power plant, I completely understand that routine maintenance makes all the difference, but sometimes, it doesn't matter and stuff will break. Good luck, I will be excited when I hit 150K, about 7 years from now:bgwb:
