Just Hit 30K Miles

Hillsbaseball08 · May 12th, 2008, 06:03 PM

I just hit 30k miles in my 02' today so how many miles can I expect out of it? (it sees the track about 2 times a month and it's nitrous injected). It will be with me forever right???

i dont think its possible to know how many miles to expect out of a motor...that like asking how long your going to live...you never know it could blow up tomorrow..but i had a 02 v6 before i did my GT swap and i had 112,000 miles on it and it still ran strong!

I dont think mustangs have a neg rep lasting.

30k miles just do the routine check up.

fuel filter replacement, change oil, check differential fluid level, check tranny fluid level, change wiper blades, replace/clean air filter, and check brakes and rotors.

I don't know how much life nitrous will take off an engine, but with good maintenance today's motors last a long time. I have driven several cars past 150,000 miles. Most of the time its everything else that goes before the motor. Alternator, water pump, air conditioner compressor, etc. I gave up on an Oldsmobile that had 198,000 when it blew a head gasket. The motor itself did not use a quart of oil between 5,000 mile oil changes.

My 2000 GT almost has 100,000. It is my intention to run it at least another 3-years before I rebuild the motor with forged internals. By then it should have 160,000 miles.

From my perspective a motor's hardly broken in at 30,000 miles.

Hillsbaseball08 · May 12th, 2008, 07:37 PM

Nice to know. What's about the average mileage for an 02?

Eagle2000GT · May 12th, 2008, 07:46 PM

Average mileage is considered to be around 12,000-15,000 per year. So I would guess an average 2002 would have somewhere around 60,000-75,000 miles. But mileage isn't always an indicator of wear and tear on a car. Highway miles are a lot easier on a car than city miles.

Mine just turned 40,000 today!!!

We should have parties.

97GT4.6 · May 12th, 2008, 08:18 PM

Mine is at 154, and its running strong.

PowerShiftz02GT · May 12th, 2008, 09:26 PM

i am about to hit 63,000 and mine feels strong too. it all comes down to how well you keep up with maintenance's.

03TropicGt · May 12th, 2008, 09:38 PM
