Seems as if the 318 has passed the duribility test. 150,000 miles on the same oil is the ultimate test! Sure it has a loud knock that would make you punch a kitten in the face and shoots a huge cloud of smoke everytime you touch the skinny pedal, but can your FORD do that???

I run 5w-30 high millage in mine because of the heat and going up to the cold weather a lot.

Well so far i have about 250,000 miles on my truck and still running strong.

How dare you! Assume i have a FORD!!! OOOOOH IMA BLOW A GASKET! Better stop for i get too mad to turn back!

lol

Yea, ive heard these 318's go forever. Im expecting alot of miles outa my 318. Runs just as good as a brand new one with 160,000 miles on her, no smoke or anything. But thats really not that high of mileage..

Yea i wouldnt know if ford would make it that far, I havent had the displeasure of owning one.
