How long will a VR6 engine last?
Barring timing chain failure, overheating (blown hoses or failed fans), or lack of lubrication (hole in the oil pan), these engines will typically go at least 300,000 miles. I have a 1997 with over 300K miles on it—it uses zero oil, makes no noise, and literally runs like it did when it was brand new. With regular maintenance and attention to minor issues before they escalate, these engines can last well beyond 250,000 miles.Barring timing chain failure, overheating (blown hoses or failed fans), or lack of lubrication (hole in the oil pan), these engines will typically go at least 300,000 miles.
