So true....The 2JZ and 1UZ both will last forever when taken care of. I have heard of them over the 500k mile mark. Not too uncommon being that our cars are over engineered. I know Cessna Aircraft planned on using the 1UZ-FE for their planes. They can rev to 10,000rpm all day

sorry to get a little off topic, but are you guys using synthetic or regular oil on your cars?

Mobil 1 5w30 & Mobil 1 filter. Recently switched to 15,000 mile Mobile 1 and change every 10k with new Mobil 1 filter.

Lucky me....I bought the car with 177k and the switch from Dino to Synth was smooth as silk

231k miles now BTW on a 1998 (avg of 33k/yr)

Castrol GTX (10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter), which I believe is synthetic, right?

Welcome to CL, Chris! And congrats on the logevity of your car!
