[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13964212, member: 134833"] No, most engines are fine until 100K miles and at which point most manuals call for only new plugs and/or a very minor tune up. OP I read somewhere that most modern engines these days, properly maintained and not beat on too bad, are able to go approximately 250K before a major overhaul is needed. Now whether or not that is true I don't know. But here is what I logically do know; ultimately, Ford is 99% confident it will go 60,000 miles before any warranty work is needed as that is when the powertrain warranty ends. However, for not that much more money Ford is willing to further extend the warranty on this amazing engine for up to 7 years or 125K! So again, that in effect should tell you something! My educated guess based on the information I provided is that these engines/powertrains should comfortably go 125K miles without needing much of anything except routine maintance and plugs. :beer: [/QUOTE]
