Great car. Mine has 78K and is very strong...no drips, very few rattles (all related to top)and as mentioned, the 1998 has the more robust double row IMS. Don't be easy on her. The harder you drive, the higher the oil pressure and that will make sure oil gets to the bearing. Since I did all the "catch up" maintenance, I have only had to do oil changes. That is 2 years, about 8000 miles.
