Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I LOVE THIS! I think he's on a mission similar to Irv Gordon that set a world record with his 3 million mile Volvo P1800s. Two big takeaways - 1. Drive the car! 2. Short drain intervals - every 5000 miles. The guy claimed to drive 1000/ week on average and so that means he changing oil every other month. WOW!

POST 3Original post

Sadly, Steve, the owner of that car, passed away not too far off hitting the 500k mile marker on his 40AE. I think the car went to his son but I should check in the registry to see if anyone knows what happened to it.
