my first 3sge died with 330k on it...it wasnt using oil at all, it still had monster power...only reason it died is i sort of did an oil change...got distracted...came back 2 days later forgotten i hadnt put oil in it..and thrashed the fuck out of it (i was knew to the licence thing, i knew no other way to drive) for a week....realised it had no oil in it...topped it up...stuck it on a dyno..and it finally seized....im confident if i hadnt brutally murdered and tortured it the way it did that it wouldve had atleast another 100k of hard driving in it

My old courier van Mitsu Express (4G63 SOHC) pretty much died at 330,000km but with stories like this im not suprised::
I asked my dad the day before if hed put oil in the car... he said yes, so i hurried off to work.. around 12pm it started making bad noises but i couldnt stop to check it because it was a busy ass day... so at the end of a 10hr day (250km+ later) i finally got home to check it out right away.. (ZERO and i mean ZERO oil) (my dad put oil in the OTHER car!!!!) the car ran 250kms and 10hrs straight with im guessing intially little oil.. and then eventually none.
This was at the 315,000km mark and about a week later it started to smoke hell bad... and now shes up in engine heaven =p Tough little engine though, at 315,000km it ran pretty damn well.. even pulling those 500kg+ loads up hills well... and it wasnt even that well looked after before hand... needless to mention the dodgy autobox which wouldnt let you into 4th gear.. (freeway in 3rd and 4000-5000rpm.. not fun)
