I currently have a 04 with about 123000 miles on mine and its still running strong with no flaws and i'm in idaho and our winters are pretty rough on the cars.
Hey guys, got an 05 coupe black/beige with spoiler. Purchased it used with 75k miles on it
back in 2009, paid off in 2014. Car now has 115k /w original plugs.
Every 2000 really seems like overkill, unless you only put 2,000 miles on it every 6 months. The manual says 3,750, which is really 4k. With some synthetics you can go 10k, dyno oil can go for 5k.
I have to top mine off so often lately that I just change it every 8k or so just to change the filter, lol.
Diamond Graphite - stock except for Borla Exhaust and my trusty Michelins
Maybe overkill but I changed it religiously every 3K until she hit 150,000 miles then started changing more often as I drive HARD and she is getting up there (daily driver)
Only ever ran conventional 5-30 Castrol GTX
As we speak I'm waiting for a tow truck - either the rear is blown or it is the driveshaft - she got me safe to work though (albeit slowly the last part of the drive)
