**Who has the Highest Mileage**

[Cobrajet]

Just turned 120k - done all scheduled maintenance (as "high-use" so shortened intervals), 5K Mobile1 oil changes and original owner. Hope to get another 100k easy. Biggest replacements: ABS pump, two TOD speed sensors, HP Power Steering line. Also on my 4th set of tires (OEM, Pirelli Scorpions, Kumho Ecstas and current set of Kumho Ecstas). Otherwise it's been a great vehicle - probably the best I've ever owned, and even those few items are acceptable INHO.

Hey, are you my twin? (must be a Proton thing)

118K, all scheduled maint by dealer except oil by me, Mobil1 since new, original owner, 4 sets of tires -- OEM, Pirelli Scorpions and two sets of Kumho Ecsta STX's. No major repairs. The MAF was replaced to fix a CEL at 90k. Best and most reliable vehicle I have owned!

Separated at birth I guess! It's funny that we're so similar - a Proton thing indeed!

John and Greg

I am running Kumho Ecstas too. First set for me 255x55R18.

Only 76500 miles though. Mobil 1 every 4k.

Getting ready for new brakes, cross drilled rotors (no slots). Should I use ceramic pads or old school metallic?

Hey James: I would go with the OEM pads, the price is aittle more but will last and last ( replaced my original set at almost 100k, and replaced w/OEM's ) and the best thing...NO BRAKE DUST ! !

Call Merlin at ST.Charles Isuzu

Concensus is that OEMs are the best.

Guys,

Former Isuzu dealer here is offering ceramic or metallic pads that seems to supply thru GM Canada.

OEM pads are listing at CDN $290 for the front!

I will call Merlin!

[Bee Sting]

Merlin say fronts are USD 117, rears USD 93.

Canadian dealer says fronts are CDN $298.

Merlin gets my money and UPS gets to ship with no cost to me to my closest border point UPS Store (45 minute drive).

My apologies for "thread jacking".
