i've got a 1987 Mitsubishi Pajero 2. 5 liter diesel and i've got almost 250000 kilometers and still running great exept i top up oil up to 3 liters from change oil to 8000 kms. i lately used fully synthetic 5w-30 Shell mixed with Petron 5w-40 Ultron (fully synthetic). i change oil filters midway at 4000kms. the last 20: 89 Merc Sable LS wagon - 240k - headgaskets were issues on the 3. 8 other than that great car 87 Olds Delta 88 - 310K - replaced tranny, brake and fuel lines 92 Merc Sable LS wagon - 144K - Headgaskets - enough of the 3. 8 already. 96 Saturn - 160K - I never realy liked this car and it could not take the beating that most others would. 98 Chrysler T&C 3. 3 - 210K Was constantly driven near topend, even 120 (with wind) Beat constantly 02 Chrysler 300M Special 180K - Loved this car. Never an issue and regret selling 05 Chrysler Pacifica - 240K - Loved this ride however the Hubs were a constant issue 07 Maxima 60k Got rid of quick for constant front end issues with hubs and brakes was a hassle to own. 07 Malibu Maxx LS 140K Driven daily no issues 08 Toyota Camry LE 80K Driving and no issues.
