I absolutely agree GlassWolf. I could almost guaranty that only around 10-15% of people ever do all the recommended maintenance that is right in their owners manual. Some engines are just built better than others, preventative maintenance is huge. I have double, if not more, of the mileage as some of my friends and never have problems with my vehicles but I do spend plenty of money on my vehicles every year.

I got one more for your best american made engines. The 3.8ltr V6 - have seen one of mine come out of 5 ft. of water and start up and drove home (after everything was dryed out and that handy lil can of WD-40). But it's hard to argue with Toyota when I've seen some of the hell those can be put through. I am non bias though cause every manufacturer has their good ones and their junk.
P.S. Yes after I got it home I did change ALL of the fluids and triple checked ALL the wiring.

chrysler's 318V8, 440V8, inline 4L 6 and slant 6 were all bulletproof engines, as well.

That aside, taking the time to do thinngs like regular oil changes, brake fluid changes, ATF fluid changes, filter changes on ATF and Oil, timing belt/chain changes, tires, brakes, line and hose inspections, injector cleanings, or carb rebuilds, and so forth will make most engines last forever.. unless you have something with built-in failure like the GM crossfire injection V8s and so forth where they were just designed to self destruct.
