205,000 miles all original, all I do is change the oil every 5,000 miles using Shell Rotella.
I use about 1 qt of oil between oil changes.
If it ain't broke dont fix it.
If you are not going to rebuild the whole engine why spend the time and money replacing major parts in a otherwise perfectly good running engine?
But then again you DII guys have alot more engine problems than us DI guys.

You caught me, I bought the mirror brand new off of Craig's List for $100 and installed it in about a hour.

Know what you mean. Mine showed 107* when I got in it to go home for lunch today. Granted, I know it shows an average of 5* higher than bank's thermostats.
