First off...dont worry, this isnt the same old question of how long will my engine last..i just have a realtively simple question.
I've got 250k miles on my 1FZ, i've run synthetic since 30k miles and have changed it at least every 5k, but truthfully, more often then that.
The engine is still strong and really runs the same as it always has, its doesnt really show any signs of going soon.
I'm just curious, i know i will rebuild at some point but my question is, is it bad the drive the engine until it totally dies or to rebuild sometime soon when the funds are available and when i will have a backup car for however long it takes?
I'm asking b/c it was just a discussion that came up with my father and I, he tends to think with proper care it could go another 100k, and i dont argue that...i think it could as well but i also dont want to drive it til it Blows up and encounter bigger issues when i want to rebuild.
Hope thats makes sense.
