... assuming you change your oil every 3k for regular or 5k for fully synthetic, and trans every 30-50k, change airfilter every 15k, and you don't gun the engine every time on the road, and you use premium gasoline which has better detergents keep the engine clean?
My vehicle has 155k and it runs great. I'm looking to hit 250k. Is beyond asking for too much?

well i dont know your type of vehicle and that is mainly what it would depend on. hondas have been known to last up to 300k with nothing done. diesel vehicles up to 600k before they have to be worked on. personally i drive a 1988 jeep wrangler, everything is original and has never had anything more serious than brakes done to it and i have just over 200 k on it. so... it depends on the vehicle.

250 is pretty high. If you used synthetic you might get more, but a lot of stuff besides engine wear starts showing up at that age.
There's a whole lot of exaggeration when people brag about how many miles they have, so don't believe everything you hear.

200,000 is about right but it's going to start nickel and dimeing you on parts
