200k expected engine life?

Quicksilvers

My 2009 Nissan 370Z 6MT had 312K miles on it when I traded it in and I am not easy on my vehicles by any means. It shows that overall the VQ37HR engine is a reliable engine. When I traded in it still ran like a champ. Having talked to a Nissan engineer before his advice was these vehicles are indeed sensitive to what fuel you use as Nissan highly recommends only using high quality top tier gasoline. The issue with the Genuine Nissan OEM catalytic converters can be solved by installing high flow catalytic converters an easy fix for a Z enthusiast. Doing all your general maintenance on time is critical to our VQ37HR. When every 100K came along changing the timing chains they showed very minimal wear. Besides having the valve timing checked every 100K miles. The only major component that was actually changed was the water pump twice for preventative maintenance. From what I was told after your proper engine break in using the Nissan “ester” motor oil changing your oil change interval using a quality API certified synthetic motor oil can help increase engine life. It is up to the consumer what to decide what motor oil will best benefit their VQ37HR engine.
