my last Avalon was sold at 230,000 miles. my only maintenance was oil, batteries and windshield wiper blades.


my Silverado got it's first plug and wire change at 185,000 miles only because a knock sensor gave out.

Not bad. How many miles now? The knock sensor harness gets brittle too. But its less than 100 bucks to fix if you do both sensors and the harness yourself.

Like I said it cost 500 bucks to do the PCV on my wifes car and it took hours. Had to pull the whole intake... Why the **** does the PCV valve connect to the oil dipstick. No one ******* knows. That's some good crack they have over there.
