100,00 Miles

My '98 just hit 100,00 miles on the ODO today!! We celebrated with an oil change and STP total fuel system cleaner.

Here's to another 100,00!!

my 95 GXE has 342,000km+ = 212,000miles
and my 96 SE has 266,000km+ = 165,000miles

pulled the 95 off the road though since I was the 5th owner and had tones of rust.

10,000 miles huh? Either you miss placed a "," AND lost a 0 or you really don't drive that thing much. I'm at 189k but my engines only at about 86k.

Who puts a comma there

100,00

In America we put it 10,000 (which is freakin weird if thats true) or 100,000 which is decent i guess, these things last forever

it's a Maxima...break 200k, then raise your hand.

BTW: 240k miles here on a '99...orig. engine, orig. tranny. don't drive like a moron (see RACING!), and your car will last as long as u want it to.

I have yet to own a car with less than 120,000 mi

I have 171k on my maxipad and 183k on my 626 (no engine nor tranny work, original clutch and tranny fluid) and they both run fine no celebrations yet. Not to mention these are 90% city miles

my dad's accord has 335k, his sterling has 275k, and put 300k+ on his buick skyhawk

damn rookies

This thread is pointless! Maybe we should celebrate 60k tune up or create a thread every time we change oil like: " I just changed oil after exactly 3,00(he he) miles?"

One hundred thousand, it comes after ninty nine thousand. I COULD say 100k, but I've never understood the "k" part just like I never understood "clicks" in military speak.

To all with more miles: makes me feel good to know my car has a chance of lasting that long.

To all the jacka$$es:

LOOK AT THE ZEROS 1,2,3,4 = 10000 =10,000 WHICH IS TEN-THOUSAND MILES, SO IF HE HAS 5,000 (FIVE THOUSAND) MILES UNTIL HE HITS 10,000 (TEN THOUSAND) THEN HE WOULD BE AT 5,000 (FIVE THOUSAND)


God i know a 3rd grader who can put the commas in the right place, and can subtract...but apperantly a supprising amount of you guys didnt make it that far

100,00? looks like European monitary signs

mine just hit 100K a few days ago, and needs a new O2 sensor, or y-pipe or something, I should probably get that checked

His car is at 95k, ask him you . Its called a typo if you couldnt figure out what mileage is actually was referring too, you must be the third grader. Look at where he put the comma.

Ahh, yes its called sarcasm, actually heres a link for more info on it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm

And my point was how many people are going to make this same typo, and even more impressivly how hard is it to type 100,000?

k == kilo == 1000. (Contextual, of course, I generally equate kilo to 1024, but that's just me).

Click == ...no idea. Here's some text about it, I've always wondered about it too:

Originally Posted by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klick
Klick (sometimes spelled click, but that may also mean one second of arc) is a common military term meaning kilometer when referring to distance or kilometers per hour (km/h) when referring to speed. Its use became popular among soldiers in Vietnam during the 1960s, although veterans of the war recall its usage as early as the 1950s. Its origin is sometimes linked with the Australian Army in Korea during the Korean War.
The term is of unknown origin. It is most likely an example of condensed pronunciation or contraction of the term kilometre or possibly onomatopoetic of the sound of a military compass' bezel ring, although other theories exist.
EDIT: Just rolling over 92k miles here, on original motor and 4th (IIRC) trans...don't ask. Combination of shoddy rebuilds and extremely slipping solenoids (leading to 5k RPM @ 10MPH at partial throttle).

Good question! I'm more of the if it ain't broke don't fix it camp. However, I read sometime back that the knock sensor typically lasts about 100K in a 4th Gen. Given you have 110k on yours and it still seems good to go, enjoy it while you can.

I'm not sure if the lifespan of a KS has anything to do with the amount of highway vs city driving one does. I am probably 75 or 80% highway in my 95.
