How long do you think is the maximum lifespan (total accumulated mileage) of the 370Z's VQ37VHR engine ??

So many factors can play a role in engine life. I just drive mine around town so... 250K? Doubt ill keep the car long enough to ever find out lol

I'm sure 1 out of all these engines COULD make it to 1,000,000 miles... But do you have that one?

DEpointfive0 · 08-10-2015, 12:46 AM

And why do you keep asking?

I made my mistake to ask about lifespan of a 370Z, not its engine.

Sorry for the inconvenience anyway.

This, other than i'll be at 250,000 miles in a few months, LOL

Just keep it maintained and you'll be good for a long time.

Now I'm hitting around 110K miles on my Z.

Having done my best on maintenance, I just want to keep this fantastic as long as possible.

Thanks.

You should be ok if you're the first owner and you don't notice any weird noises.

I'd say that most modern Japanese engines are good to 250k with proper maintenance

It all depends on how you take care of your car. You can not ever change the oil and have a broken Z within the first 6 months. OR you baby the hell out of it and perform maintenance regularly and you spend money on the top of the line fluids, parts, etc.

Quality over Quantity. Yeah it will cost more, but its worth it to have the car last and run as well as it does for as long as it can. All depends on how you treat her.
