What's Your Mileage Update?

Just crossed 159k miles on 2012 fx35 awd.

It's been good. Had to do the fuel gauge repair and some maintenance items. I'm waiting for the bigger stuff to start dropping like ac compressors and alternators.

Burns 0 oil. No measurable consumption over 14k miles.

Ran my last oil change with Mobil one extended 20k to a little past 14k miles. I'll send that sample to Blackstone labs and see what they say. I imagine it couldn't possibly had much life left.

Most expensive repair - my cat baffles crumbled and came lose , so I had those extracted surgically. I also had some baffles removed from the muffler in the back. It's the right amount of extra volume under load but idle and everything else is perfect volume. Comparable to a g35/g37 coup with ipl now. No ricer shit.
 
2004 FX35 AWD - I'm at 193k miles now. Still running strong and burning about a quart of oil every 2.5k miles, which is perfectly fine.
 
Currently just under 313k on my 2007 FX35 AWD. :eek:

CEL comes on 1-1.5 weeks after reset for O2 sensor/cat efficiency
Driver's side seat memory doesnt always work
Right driver's side seat motor/gear is weaker than left so the seat kind of turns when I move it
Gas mileage is crappier with Blizzaks on
Burns oil just any other high mileage vehicle
Muffler flange rusted off ~8k miles ago. Fixed it with donut gasket and split flange
 
Hit 300k a few months back, just under 310k now, original owner. She leaks oil but doesn’t burn oil, most of the leakage is steering fluid. The bonus of this is it coats the underside to prevent rust which is the major enemy. Engine still has excellent power and averages 20mpg on long drives over 70mph. I beat the shit out of this car in west and it runs like a champ, never left me stranded (knock on wood) and easy to do all the maintenance. Gas gauge is a little bit off but I know exactly how far it can go after all this time, idle is a bit high, sun roof got broken glass in it, I’ve had to weld the supports in the seat, rear wiper no longer works, but other than that it’s pretty much good to go. Rust will kill this car within the next few years but until then I will continue to drive the living shit out of this car.
