Don't fix it if it ain't broke

Every one of this truck's 113 oil changes was done at the same shop. It's a 2010 Ford F-150 with the 4.6, and at the time of the post it showed 562,850 miles on an all-original drivetrain. That's about 914,000 km. The owner is a TV repairman, and the shop credits his 5,000-mile oil changes for the engine's life. Major repairs so far: one alternator and one fuel pump. No hubs, no differential or transmission work, no front end parts, no shocks, no leaks. It gets new Michelins and brakes about every 80,000 miles. The complaints list is short: a little rust, a couple of dead door-ajar sensors and a worn-out steering wheel.
