    A friends engine lasted around 600,000km before reconditioning/replacing it.

    Two important things to ensure good engine life is, 1. always warm up the engine especially on cold mornings. 2. Frequent oil changes and use quality oil+fuel.

    My Civics done 250000+ and its still running well, no smoke or anything..

    asking how long ur motor has to live is like asking how long is a piece of string... theres no definite answer

    as long as you take care of it and service it on time i say your motor can do a whole lot more then that

    As sure as death and taxes, average life expectancy exists and is the best way to measure the inbuilt quality of any object, be it an engine, a tyre, a gearbox, or a living being, this is why there’s such thing as statistics. Average represents the margin between two extremes with the larger percentage having the greater impact on the final figure.

    According to you, with good care a man would live to see a thousand, sadly on average we die at about 78 years.

    Bar the Indian speeches, Do you have a Civic? If yes, how many km’s did you do before major overhaul?

    i think u missed my point. im saying if u take care of your car properly and treat it with respect u can be certain it will run for a long time.

    of course u are gona have probs when u car reaches high mileages, its just about how serve the problems are. (depending on if u serviced it on time and how u treated ur car)

    and for your information, i drive a 2006 honda civic vti manual.
