I know its not a celica but i have a 91 Toyota Pickup v6 with 143k on it and its still running strong! We bought a 90 celica with a blown motor (guy ran it outa oil) but it had 333k on it actually still runs!
mine has about 34k GT. when i bought it last year it had 21k. my cars been in the shop for about 5 out of the 12 months. and why you planning to sell your car revmonster?
So when you start hitting those high mileage, what can you do to prevent your car from busting out on you?
Also, do you guys actually take your cars to the dealship for their regular maintenance, like those 30K, 60K, and etc. or do you just do it yourself?
I don't use synthetic. I take my car to the dealership ever 3K for oil change. I've had two major services, One when it hit 60K and the recent one when it hit 90K. My engine hasn't had any problems and its a 2K GT manual. The problem has been the tranny and everything has been fixed under warranty. Now since its over 100K I kind of feel scared because my engine its kind of loud and I don't wnat my engine to die on me. but everything is running Ok.
Rev, you're going to kill your car if you keep up that rate of oil changes.
My car just turned two and I only have like 22k.
I still contend that changing your oil every 3k miles is pointless. Even our owners manual doesn't suggest that. Jiffy Lube has just gotten to all of you guys.
I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you

Rev is VERY correct.
If you run a full synthetic, and you change it every 3k, you are wasting money.
JiffyCrap says 3, Toyota says 7.
Jiffy lube wants to sell you oil, Toyota wants to sell you car parts. Split the difference at 5-6K and you're all set.
I changed mine once at 7K, and the Mobil 1 coming out was the same color as teh stuff going in
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.
My 86 Celica ST gave up the ghost last June with 210 grand + on the odometer. Any car that lasts 15 years of my driving deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor. Keeping the car up and oil changes seem to be the key longevity, after not doing stupid stuff and totaling the thing out. These are good cars and with good upkeep will last 200,000 +. Good Luck!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I actually have over 231,000 now and yes i bought the car brand new, change the oil every toher week because i pput 3k in two weeks, change the clutch three times and thats bout it its still runs good! oh and i try hard as hell not race or speed!@
nobody better say i cant drive since most have you had never driven that much in ur lifetime, i know of a tercel that had 500k, almost 600k (its not sure since the odmeter dosent go that high or its broke i forgot and yes i dont have proof of that, all i have is my word.) in a motor that three cylinder still running
the pistons are worn, the piston rings, o2 sensor the ct, my compression is about 160psi its suppose to be 208 psi when i reach 140 psi i need to change the engine.
i dont know but i dont think it will be high because when you have lift you floor it more often , i would do the same i think you could go 190k-210k, i have never gone higher the 6k, and i have only gone up to 6k 4 times
^^^ that's my point, I wonder why you have the check engine light on -
i finally got rid of the cel all i did was clean the maf and reset the computer!!
what do you do that requires you to drive so much?? ALso, with those kind of miles I'm wondering about the tranny? What problems have you had with your tranny along the way to 230K???
