so, my car is high mileage as you can see, and i was wondering, after the 60k, and the 120k, what's next?

it is my daily driver and i want to keep this baby running for at least 200k before i put another n/a on it ( i am not a performance freak :biggrin: i just enjoy the car for what it is stock :D )

I believe the 60k maint. again, i may be mistaken though. i know injectors are every 60k and timing belt is every 120k. Your owners manual should tell you what is required at each mileage and i would do the 60k if it were me.

^^^ "Injectors every 60K" I've NEVER heard of that before??

OP, If you have records showing the 120K was done, then just do the 60K. Otherwise do the full 120K kit.

60k kit is fine, 120k just has more parts in it. I'd do everything tho with that many miles

I'd say after the 120k is completely done, hit the 60k up when ready. At a minimum I'd change the t-belt and tensioner out every 60k or so. I wouldn't worry with the injectors unless they are going out. However, if one goes out then change ALL of them at once. Save yourself the headache down the road.

Ahahah. No I haven't really. But the engine does pull strong and has no misfires or nothing other than a small leak from the rear main seal ;/
I don't have the necessary tools to do the test, but I would also like to know I will see if I can get the tools and see the numbers lol
