Humphries Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 184,399 miles is the most i could possibly say that motor can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 ^LOL... the motor will last you as long as you want it to... assuming you take care of it like you should... you need to make sure all routine maintence is done to it. I have seen honda running 300k on the before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delsol209 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 well before i did my h2b i had 247xxx on it and before i pulled it out i was shooting a 50 shot, for like 3 months and it still ran fine after that but like always i took care of it till the end always getting oil changed, airfilter cleaned, and all the regular maintance you do, so it can last you well into the 200's so just take care of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you keep the maintence up on it, and replace any broken parts that come along. It will last a good while. I am glad my car has 110,xxx on it. plenty of DD life left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandemic_chaos(EK) Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 i have a 99 honda hatchback civic cx i have 180xxx miles on the engine the engine is stock single cam how long would you think it would last me? dude i have 95 ej2 (civic coupe) and it still has the stock sohc d15 and its has 218,xxx miles on it. these engines can go over 500,000 easy. but to keep its performance you need to change the oil to Castrol Syntec blend 20W50 then it'll run real smooth. atleast thats what i did and i still run the 1/4 mile in 13.68 seconds.

Hatch92 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 dude a stock d15 won't run a 1/3 in 13.6, hell a stock d16z6 won't run a 1/4 in 13.6 and the d16 is a bigger motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd say at least 130k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
