The engine itself, given that it is treated and maintained properly, will go for a very long time. Just think of this. My Dad's cousin has a 1990 Maxima SE. It has 268k miles on it, and the only major thing he has had to replace is the alternator. He treats it well and does what needs to be done maintenance wise. So, given that our cars are newer, probably better designed, and stonger (engine wise), it is safe to say that the engine will probably go to 300k miles and more. But again, where you live, how you drive, and past history are the main determinants in this factor.

4th gens engines are even better in my opinion.. so do not think it will go anytime soon.

it all depends on how well you take care of it. I've seen some late nighties cars that are in worse condition than my 88 sentra beater (which is falling apart). if you keep it healthy, it will take care of you.
