So, whats the secret with all these great miles? I'm in Australia, 03 at 140,000 klms (only 87,000 miles),
I change oil every 5k, changed tranny fluid at 100k, I warm engine from cold start. Any other tips to help me get it to half a mill klms?

Change my oil no later than 3k miles. I tend to try to change it at 2500-2800.Originally Posted by woodstar

I have the highest mileage G35 on here.. possibly the planet. So it should go to say that yes oil changes at these intervals equate to longer span of engine life.

did you have to replace anything? What do u recommend to keep a car that healthy for that long? I was thinking of seafoaming mines or some sort of fuel cleaner im at 80k 04 im planning to keep this car ...Originally Posted by Eric@TCGMiami
Holding up great, still runs strong. Finally tuned my fans properly would wish I had a variable speed controller that wouldn't fail under the load but hey can't have the pie and eat it too... Other than that rides great, **** gas mileage lol when riding over 3k rpm. Overall couldn't ask for more. In it's prime when I had it partially gutted it ran with 1st gen gallardos

04 sedan with 150k miles. The only thing wrong with it at this moment is the valve cover spark plugs seals.

Do not add any fuel additives it will spoil your spark plugs and O2 sensors!
