This is my trusty 2003 Corolla S with 460,000km on the clock (285660 miles). She still uses no oil and not a rattle anywhere.

Looking good!
My 2005 has only 159k miles on it and you are dong about 9,000 mile more a year than I.
I use about 1/2 a quart per 5k in my 1ZZFE since new. A little more if I use syn oil.
What oil do you use? OCI? Oil filters? Air filters how often?
Oh, also some members will call you a liar here since you have that much mileage on a 7 year old car (I know since I've been called on with less miles).
I'm hoping for 500k with mine. Thanks for posting!

I've run Mobil 1 5-30 with Toyota filters since new. I change every 10,000km (anout 6200 miles). I put in a K&N Air filter (I've used them for over 30 years) when new, and clean it every spring and fall.

Thanks for the reply!
I did 5,000 mile OCIs with mostly conventional for the first 60k miles and looking at the UOAs I bumped it up to 7-8k OCI with (again) mostly conventional. A lot of Supertech filters and others.
Mostly a buy it on sale and use it type of guy. My 2005 is just like new in operation. The paint not as much...
Take care, bill

Wow. You do a LOT of driving with that thing.
How far are you commuting daily?

And old car or truck is my guess.

If you can get that many miles with a K&N and no oil burning then I'm putting them back in my parents' cars. One of them is a Camry. Took them out from all the discussion here about how bad they are.

I think I knew that.
I see 455, but I'm not familiar with older American cars.

455? I think GM is the only maker to ever make a 455 so I would take a guess that's a Chevy 455 Big block.
Chevy 455? you need to study history a little more.
That looks like a '73ish Pontiac T/A with a Pontiac 455 to me

That would be my guess. mid 70s TransAm.

I've run K&Ns in my last 6 vehicles and never ran less than 450,000km on a filter. The people who try to shoot them down have absolutely NO practical experience. I do, and I will run nothing else on any of my engines..

It's NOT JUST a 455 Pontiac Trans Am......I'm pretty sure that's a 'Super Duty' Trans Am!
I'd love to see that when it's done.....nice car!
