Problems after 200,000 Miles

nis350 · 01-12-2015, 09:38 PM

I was not comparing the z motor to anything, just stating the fact about other engines.

BTW: I was also NOT saying which motor is better.

BTW, "some" Chevy engines do not burn any oil even at 100k miles. And "some" Ford engines engines do not burn any oil even at 100k miles. And "some" Toyota engines... 'Ya know?

Somethings wrong with your 09, 90ST.

Mine only reads 16k miles...

Might be your tire size, or maybe your 1.5 psi low in a tire or two. Lol

Likely low pressure in the spare.

Great info 90ST! Sounds like you have a very reliable car

TreeSemdyZee · 01-06-2015, 09:04 PM

OK. I'm more comfortable now. I'm close to hitting 80k. Guess mine's just broken in. Thankfully the only cars that I like that could replace the Z are too expensive for me, so I'll keep it.
Thanks for the post 90. It really does boost the confidence level.

Thanks for the post! Have you recently done an oil analysis?

90 ST · 01-07-2015, 01:42 AM

[QUOTE=nis350;3074377]Thank you for sharing. It's good to hear that the car is so reliable considering the mileage.

Just wondering if the oil consumption increased at higher mileage or it is about the same through out the 200k miles?

How about the transmission? Did the shifting get worse?[/QUOTE

its gone to about a quart, nothing really in the beginning, but after 200k im ok where it is. Shifting has been the same but it manual.

There is only one place: Blackstone. And you just have to request a free sample kit. They provide you everything you need to send it back to them (except maybe postage? I can't remember its been so long since I last did one). They charge $25 per sample analysis.

Thank you for you post, good to see the car overall remained pretty reliable. Most of those things are expected wear and tear items. I would also be interested in an oil analysis.

90 ST · 01-07-2015, 10:07 AM

I wonder about shipping over the border...
