Yep, our mileage stays pretty close since we switch off which Vibe we take when go run errands or whatever.tpollauf wrote:Something told me that your Vibe was within a day or so of hitting the same mileage milestone as your moms. Here's to another 50k miles & more to both of you

I was bummed a couple years ago when mine hit "12345" miles. Didn't have my camera with me and was on I-75 at the time. I'll be ready for the next sequential series which will be "23456" in a couple yearsKITT222 wrote:I encountered this the other day

Here's what I was told and suggested by the Blackstone folks who do oil analysis. At MAXIMUM, regardless of mileage, change the oil every TWO years. If you running on synthetic then you have a little bit of cush and added protection. Surprisingly when I changed the oil in my 22 yr old F-150 which went 7 years between oil changes (6700 miles on conventional oil) there was minor internal wear present from the sample. My 2009 Vibe only has 3100 miles since the last oil change BUT 17 months of time. I will change it this fall before winter if it looks like it will see winter driving. Otherwise next spring for sure which will be the two year interval.Houston wrote:Well, my Vibe is now five years plus a couple months old and is all the way up to 10,668 miles. Eat your hearts out.
Got a question for you: I stuck to the Owner's Manual while it was under warranty, but now that it isn't I've decided to go six months between oil changes. As little driving as I do, it doesn't make sense to me to even change it that often. How would you handle this were you in my shoes? Thanks guys and gals!
Thanks for this information, tpollauf. That's probably what guys and gals with antique and classic cars do with their show cars that aren't driven hardly at all.tpollauf wrote:Here's what I was told and suggested by the Blackstone folks who do oil analysis.

well put! i was about to say that there was an interview with some auto big wig who admitted that changing the oil 'every 3000 miles' was a way to sell more oil.... or something like that.tpollauf wrote:Here's what I was told and suggested by the Blackstone folks who do oil analysis.

Woo hoo! Glad to hear she's still running strong!musicmanmu wrote:Just as a continual update, I just passed 219,000 miles on my 2009 Vibe GT. Hold steady, old girl!
It's amazing how the two of you stay in sync with each othervibenvy wrote:My mom's Vibe turned over 52,000 miles this past Thursday! My Vibe turned over 52,000 miles just this morning!
You are definitely leading the 2nd gen pack as far as miles go! I'm curious to see whether or not the odometer will stop (like the 1st gens) when you hit 299,999...musicmanmu wrote:Just passed 225,000 miles this morning!
If I can get to 300,000, I'll be a happy SOB! I will be sure to let you know.vibenvy wrote:You are definitely leading the 2nd gen pack as far as miles go!

I'm counting on that with my Vibe and my wife's Corolla, both with the 1ZZ. The Corolla hit 200K last year, but I'm not sure what it's up these days. Probably not more than 210K. It doesn't get the miles that it used to.cptnsolo77 wrote:As a side note guys, I know someone who has a Celica ( not sure if its a 1ZZ or 2ZZ engine ) that has 385K. Rest assure that our engines can hit 300K EASY

According to his profile, he hasn't visited the site since 03.08.13.joejoev wrote:As joatmon mentioned, SPECMO (specmo.com) in Madison Heights, MI offers calibration/repair services. They have a second location in Burton (near Flint). Assuming I make it that far, I may call upon them in a year or so to create an actual-mileage odometer when I lock up instrument panel #2. But I have another 83k to think aboot it. (That's right, kids! Do the math and you'll note I'm overdue to post the half million mile thread.)
I say one of these days the two of you will turn over the EXACT mileage together at the exact time on the same road Looking forward to a snapshot of "55555" in another week or so! Nice synchronization therevibenvy wrote:My Vibe turned over 55,000 miles yesterday and my mom's turned over 55,000 miles today.
