Default 101k on my car. Couple control arms a wheel bearing and dirty ICV valve....
that about the extent of my problems. Engine still running like a champ. Still smooth and shifts nice. I change the oil every 5k and filter at 10k religiously some official dealer injector cleaner every now and again.

Default last August, I sold my '95 90 with the 12v 2.8 V6 at 106k miles with no problems.
The only thing that I may have done to it was replace the lifters. They were getting a little noisey even with 15w-50 Mobil 1 Syn with changes at 3-5k miles with oil filter.

Who has the most miles on their 2.8 12V without rebuild. 126K for me, I'm sure will be beat soon.
