Re: Will a 2.4L Sonata engine make it 150K miles?
 

I agree that 150K miles is nothing these days..let's see, I had a 93 Honda
Civic that went 297,000 and then broke the camshaft..it was getting soft and
burning oil by then though so it was on the way out, I gave it away to a
friend because I was sick of it after 9 years, it lives on with a new engine
and is well over 500,000 now. I had a Nissan minivan( I forget the year)
that I sold at around 200,000, an 86 Plymouth Turismo that went over
200,000, an old ford F350 diesel that I sold at around 250,000 , and so on.
Currently we have a 2002 Accent with 150,000, a 2001 F150 with 170,000, and
a Plymouth Sebring with ~150,000, all run just like new, with nothing
ridiculous having been changed on any of them except a blown rear end on the
F-150 at 75,000 , that annoyed me.

Oil changes are generally around 5000 miles for us, but I'm not a fanatic,
7000 happens too.

Yeah..my family drives too much, I know :-)

my 2001 elantra was at 132,000 mile when I traded her in for a Sanata Fe.
it was still running like day 1 , getting 32+ miles to the gallon.
