It's Just A Number
The Jӓgermobile went over 300K miles today… Guess it’s time for an oil change. :dance:

That's awesome. This proves that proper maintenance can make your engine go a long way.

Yes, original motor, no major work other than replacing the IMS bearing twice.

That is simply amazing...well done. Couple of questions:
1) How is the car holding up overall?
2) Any recent pics?
3) How did you know when it was time to replace the IMS each time.

It's holding up quite nicely but I don't let anything go on it. If it needs something fixed I take care of it.
Here are pictures I just took 5 minutes ago:
I replaced the IMS bearing when I replaced the clutch. Last time I checked the bearing that was in the motor (by spinning it with my fingers), and it did not feel as smooth as a new bearing so I replaced it.

LOL... I have been using that High Mileage Mobil 1 oil lately... I think the Jӓgermobile qualifies.

No, the original top had the plastic window (it cracked in the cold southern California winter... LOL). This one I installed ten years ago, is starting to fade but otherwise seems to be holding-up.

Wow... Didn't think I'd see a 986 with mileage this high. Showing this to my friend who has an S2000.

Ah...I remember when you hit 250k four years ago. I'm a bit ashamed that I've only logged 10k in that time.

Jager, speaking about oil, do you know how much oil does your engine uses (about) every 1k miles? I am very curios due to the mileage on your car.
My car has 99k on the clock and it burns about one quart per thousand miles, and according to what I have read here, this oil consumption is kind of normal (no smoke through the tail pipe and have clean plugs..)
Regards!
