4 Years. 61000 miles

It is my daily driver (except when there is hail or snow in the forecast)

I still smile when I start it up and drive.

Significant changes from stock:

PSS 305 tires in rear (I can feel no difference from the 295)
I can feels the difference from PZero

That's it.

I change the oil and filter every 5K (please refrain from commenting on the frequency - oil change interval is similar to religion and we all have our beliefs). I had the car aligned at 55,000 miles. at 58k changed the engine belt along with the air filters

While I have had a number of flat tires, the wheel and tire insurance has paid up without complaint.

There has been no significant repair issues.

...one really annoying item....buzzing B pillars....that's it.

Wow, congrats. Great to hear about people who drive their car, and better yet, those who have great mileage with no issues. Do you change oil yourself or take it to the dealership?

I have not been able to locate Mobil 1 10-40 except by special ordering it. I can find 0-40 European which is I think also authorized but for some reason, I just can't get comfortable with a 0 weight oil. Where do you buy it?

Excellent.

Just turned 50K myself. I put on 47,500 miles in just under 2.5 years

I do 5K oil changes and I've been telling myself to test the next batch to see how it's holding up.

Looking forward to a dealer visit at 60K for the belt, PDCC fluid change as well as AWD controller fluid change.

Still pretty solid although I've noticed some panel clips must have broken in the back side panels. The panel for the seatbelt and speaker is pretty loose on the drivers side.

(Sound of dope slap) 0-40 Mobil 1. Apologies to all. The oil flows at constant viscosity at every temperature we have in Pennsylvania. Don't worry about the -0-

So you're probably using the Euro formula I was talking about. I just read this article on oil specification and testing and now I feel comfortable with the 0W-40. It has one of the highest zinc ratings also as shown on the Mobil 1 spec sheet below.
