100,000 isn't really that much for modern drivetrains. If you take care of todays motors and transmissions. 300,000 on a gas motor is no problem.
Amen. Use full synthetic oil. Costs twice as much but can stay slippy for more than twice as many miles with no build-up and superior protection when hot-New Mexico in August for instance :).
Per my research Mobil 1 and a few others can go 18k without a serious loss of viscosity, but you should change the filter at ~12k to get the dirt out. I change oil and filter at 10k in the cars. about 3k in RV since it sits and sits :(. JMHO
didn't mean to hijack the thread
