i have 85,000 miles on my v6 and so far i replaced the Thermostat housing (it split because its made of plastic.) and my alternator at 70,000
Mostly Mobil 1 due to price, but have done RP too

nope - the dealer thought it had 16k on it not 166k when they did the coolant because it all still looks new (inside and out)

That's great! I have a 93 Mercury Tracer with 198K and no interior noises and was hoping for repeat performance from my Mustang.
