I'm going to install mine at 109k. Well, probably more like 110k now.

Triple8sol is installing at ~60k I think.

The sooner the better but as long as you have a good engine, I don't think mileage matters all that much.

Correct. Doesn't say anything about reliability thought, since who knows what will happen...

Exactly. If you maintain your engine well, it won't matter when it goes on.

BTW, I'm going to make my own leak-down gauge (already have a regulated 100+ psi compressor) and do a full leak-down check as well as compression check before I install. . .I'll let people know how it turns out. Of my 109k miles, I'd say 75% was highway driving, mobil 1 oil changes since 3750 every 5k, and I sure didn't pound on the rev limiter.

Yep, he started using Mobil 1 @ 90,000.
