New Guy Questions
![]() I would really like to continue picking away at restoring this cars interior and exterior because the motor seems so strong but do not want to be any more stupid than this car has already made me, it is like a disease. Could I get 200,000 or more with out having to do a major on the engine. I have always run Shell Rotela T semi sin in my air cooled beemers and diesel truck. Would like to continue this with car. This was a grey market car which has caused me some problems following manual instructions as some things are different. Sorry to be so disorganized but I am not real comfortable with computers. Thanks, Tom |

I don't see why not. It sounds like it already had a top end rebuild with the updated pressure fed tensioners. Follow the recommended oil intervals and keep the valves adjusted. The 3.0 liter is well known for being a very durable engine. Enjoy it and welcome to the forum

First let me say welcome - this forum is a great place to learn about your car. Sounds like you are really enjoying your car and having fun. You can search here and find many of these engines go well over 200,000 miles. Pick up Wayne's book and a Bently manual. With those plus having your questions answered here, most jobs can be done.
Enjoy!
