Very broad question... Depends on how you drive the car, what psi you run, if you take care of your car, etc... Some last 30k miles (like mine) and some will last 200k miles. Depends on you.

Agreed. Also add in oil choice, oil change frequency, and something I myself (as well as many other believe), idle after driving (aka turbo timing).

End of thread.
