naviathan Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Nice, my ZX might get there one day. I can't believe it's still running on all original sensors. Just wish the damned Alt would quit going out. Time for a GM upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I don't really think synthetic oils have as much to do with that as regular maintenance. When I worked for a Volvo dealer we had a guy who had 700,000+ miles on his car, he brought his car in every 5K for dealer servicing with regular old Castrol, and the head had never been off the block at the point when I was working there. He had a job where he had to travel between LA and SF every week, and that's how he put the miles on the car. I think the record holder is a Volvo P1800 owner who had 2M miles on his car. Volvo gave him a new 960 when he hit 2M, but he was still driving the P1800 last I heard. I don't think you could buy synthetic oils during the time when most of that mileage was done.

Hartspank Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 actually it's the bitter cold and road salt that make the cars last so long up here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardin58 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Sabb for a million miles? Poor guy. yes, too bad the car is sitting in a museum now The thing about this case was it was all on the original engine, no rebuilds..only headgasket change. The Volvo had more than one engine rebuild, I believe. And the SPG is a performance model=more wear on engine. The B series is a great engine.
