I have a friend who needs to know how long the engine and manual transmission will last (on average) if they are WELL-MAINTAINED. To be specific, if the oil is changed more often than manufacturer's specs, kept in tune, and generally looked after, how many miles can one expect it to last. 100K? 150K? 200K? FOREVER? The car being considered is a Datsun 310 (4-cyl. ~1.8 liters). What about is manual transmission? Except for wearing down the clutch pads, what else goes wrong? Please respond by mail houxl!ksg
