My car (2000 GTP) has 140k miles and have all maintanance records from origanal owner. They changed the oil every 4-6 thousand miles. So far I can tell the engine runs perfect, and burns less than 1/2 quart every 4 thousand miles since I have owned it. It really does all boil down to how it is maintained, these engines can last a long time if done right. I do have to do the LIM gaskets, but that is no fault of the engine itself.
