    IIRC 10k, but some oils would extend to 15k. It really all depends on oil you use, and how much heavy pulling you do. For instance, if I were pulling a 30k lb trailer all day, I'd change oil more frequently.

      See, I want to drive the fucking wheels off of it before I have to replace it. In which case a diesel makes more sense.

        So if you stretch it to 15k and get your oil change for $70 then it is about the same cost wise.

          Actually a little less, assuming changes at 5k on a gasser. Again, completely dependent on type of oil, etc. Yes, more expensive for each, but since they are more spread out, it's a wash really.

            Yeah, if I had a job like yours I'd be concerned with it. I've been driving cars that get 17-18mpg since I was 20, and trading them off regularly. I think the vert is either my 26th or 27th car. I'm going to try to hold onto it until atleast next summer though. We'll see how that turns out.. lol

            • The oil change varies too much to compare accurately, but against many newer cars it's 40 more per oil change...extrapolated over 150K miles an you've got an extra 600 just in oil. That's not counting the other maintenance prices

                As opposed to on the sidewalk? lol. I don't mind. Give me a/c, a radio, and I'm good. Howling and all that can be corrected with new weatherstripping and dynamat.

                    It was some sort of Fed Ex/UPS fleet truck for most of its life and then we used it for flooring installs. We put about 200k on it. I don't know where it is now or if its sold but it was still running strong. Never had to replace anything major.

                        The gasser is a little less you mean? I pay $20 bucks for a oil change every 5k miles. So gasser= $60 vs diesel at $70 for 15k.

                          It can be done, but the gassers that make it that long are few and far between. With some suspension changes and a new bottom end, and rear end, I think I could probably get another 200,000 out of the Expedition.

                            It is sort of like the martians that walked down the street with a golden cane during dusk.

                              The Italian Nite club is like crack. Sure, there are better, but not many. Speaking of, I think I'm heading there for lunch.

                                I think maintenance and how you drive trumps the actual car itself. The car/truck/gas/diesel is nothing if you abuse the shit out of it and never do the recommended maintenance.
