My 22 year old dodge truck has 350k miles still on the original clutch. My 69 D100 is original paintand engine. Toyotas are not the only trucks that last…

Many people aren’t aware the Fed regulates how long a motor should last before needing replacement, rebuild, etc. many reasons, including the EPA. Older motors have looser tolerances and generally wear better.
That magic number is 300-400k, allowing fir variables between city and highway driving.
Proper cared for, yields solid results.

I have close to 299K miles on my 2008 Jeep Liberty. Getting close to those numbers. I've only replaced the coolant radiator, A/C compressor, and the steering rack and pinion.

Looks like they only did an engine oil top off instead of change at 3,800 miles.

Maybe they don’t really care?

Impressive! I hope Penzoil sponsors a similar video for comparison. I've used Mobil 1 for decades, but open to the idea there may be better oils out there.

Looks fishy, the 6.4 in my PowerWagon hasn't needed a drop of oil between oil changes and it certainly doesn't get babied.
