That's what the techs have always told me. Around 180-200K. Mine made it to somewhere around 400K. Funny part is, it never smoked unless I tilted it on either side long enough for oil to accumulate in a valve cover. Replaced the seals and that was the last time it ever did that. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

The comments about synthetic are interesting. I haven't run anything in the last 30 years, including my bikes, on anything but full synthetic - Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobile 1. I keep telling people running full synthetic is worth it. It's nice to hear some other people are seeing similar results. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
