a lot of milage?

RE: a lot of milage?
That is quite alot of miles...but it depends on how the car was treated. I don't know what year your car is...but it's 12 years old at the oldest, and 8 at the youngest...So depending on that it could be either not so bad or a little much. Miles per year is a bigger deal than total miles.
My Bronco has 212,XXX miles on it, and it's a 93, 5.8L, it burns no oil and purrs like a kitten. It all depends on how the vehicle is treated.
Edit - I'm a dumbass...the original post says '94. In that case, the miles/year isn't that high, it's at right around 15,000...which is average.

Ive run hopped up 302s well into the 150k range with only a re-ring rebearing at 70k or so. No problems. It also has to do with maintenancing your vehicle at the appropriate intervals. Using synthetics also increases the engine life.

aight good, small oil leak around the driver side cam but nothing major yet, i read in the 5.0 magazine that one quart of oil every month or so (3000- 5000k) is normal.... this true?
