How many miles...........

Do you have on WVO?
I have talked to people that have 15-30K with no problems,
but I have not heard of anyone going 100k +++++.
Anyone?

Oh dear me, are you opening up a can of worms.

I'm going to do this - edit your thread so that it not only asks how many miles people have on their cars, but also where they live. THAT will be interesting.

None of them last 100k miles, on WVO.

I'll let you know when I hit 100,000 miles. At my current rate, I should be there in 4 years.

I only put on about 10K miles but only because it became too big a hassle to get enough oil.

Of the three people around here that do it, none are serious enough to accumulate a ton of miles. Perhaps 5k this summer, but that engine is now hurtin....

You really should put "WVO" in the title so the sane people won't accidentally open the thread.

Well, This concept has been around for awhile so I figure by now some
folks should have racked up some pretty good miles, if this is a good thing.
I didn't mean to stir the pot. Just wanted to know if the proof is in the
pudding.

28k in 16 months. in MN.

no adverse affects apparent yet. except the money I have saved would pay for a top end overhaul. and I do have a complete spare fuel system ready if I need it.(lift pump to injectors)
