How many miles can an IS300 engine take before its done for good?,
post your car odometer reading and what have you done to keep it counting.

it's never done for good if you maintain it well.

yes...keeping the car lubricated is the #1 thing to do, but I wonder if that will help my car reach over 200k miles.

You can get 300k on the 2JZGE if you keep the oil changed. Also, use only Denso Iridium plugs in it, change water pump and timing belt every 90k. That inline six is a beast and lasts forever. Plus, it has a perfect silken snarl.

I like your answer, How many miles you have on your 2001 IS300?

I drove hard on it and had about 87k when I traded it in. Never had any issues and I drove it all over the east coast and in Chicago rush hours and horrible winters. I did use Mobil 1 as well.

My odometer is at 99k and I drive the hell out of it. No problems, as stated above just change the timing belt, water pump, cam seals and serpentine belt and you should be fine
