Re: Engine Longevity


100-150Kmi is about right if the engine is religiously maintained and never
seen any traumatic events  A valve job halfway through that, is a good idea to
maintain reliabiliy in respect of the possibility if swallowing a valve but I 
have seen them go all the way without one.

Some motors seem to use some oil and some dont.  some will use none in town 
but some on the highway.  Depends on how you drive it but in any case 1/3 Qt in
3Kmi is excellent!  You may want to think of a valve job soon, especially if you drive the highway alot but dont disturb the original genuine German parts you
have in the short block.
