what end?

I'd guess he plans on trying to get 300k miles out of it. That's my plan as well!

Lol i don't measure Mazda's life span by mileage, I measure it by % of surface area that is solid rust

First engine?

Curious as to when it will go out; don't most go out just around 200k without a hard life?

That's a lot of wear and tear on all those bushes though lol

That fast? I'd expect a well taken care of modern engine to go 200 without major surgery, 300+ with maybe some internal repairs. Assuming it's taken care of its whole life. Maybe I'm too optimistic? I've been taking good care of my engine since I got the car at 35k miles, and it's at 70 now. I'm expecting to get over 150 at least with no trouble.

I thought I had a lot of miles with my 103k
Have you got some major repairs so far?

 

[XCNuse]

I don't know, that's the thing, I literally have no idea; I just know a few people that do indeed have 300k and are on their 3rd motor, where they said their first one went out just under 200k

I have no idea how long our engines last lol

Which in today's world, it makes sense, why keep it around for so long?

There was a guy featured in Mazda Canada's Zoom Zoom magazine a few months ago from Montreal.

900,000km and counting on his old mazda MPV on one engine

Wow that is good to know, I just picked up my 3 with 70k miles on it and plan on putting at least another 70k miles on it.

Very nice man! I am not sure that these motors are rated to last til. I know the motor in my Tacoma will have no problem getting to 300k.
