Just did oil changes last month and the BMW is now at 361,000 miles and the Tundra at 340,000 miles.I have two vehicles with over 300k miles.
2001 BMW 540 M-Sport owned basically since new. Currently at 346,00 miles. All I did was use the approved BMW LL-01 oil and an appropriate Mann, Hengst or Mahle oil filter and change it every 7500 miles.
2007 Toyota Tundra 4.7L currently around 312,000 miles. This one I have owned since around 25k miles. Oil changes every 6k to 7.5k miles. I use whatever 5w-30 synthetic is on sale...Mobil, Kirkland Signature, Quaker State, Pennzoil, STP, whatever. Filters same, Purolator, Bosch, but for the past 5 years Toyota as I found the local dealer has them cheap when purchased in quantity of four or more.
Never did anything special to get to where I am now, I follow a preventive maintenance schedule and fix stuff promptly when they break.
Even with transmission and diff fluid changes every 80k to 90k on the Tundra to coincide with timing belt changes, the torque converter gave out recently. Dealer suggested a factory rebuilt Toyota transmission would make the most sense, considering the labor to just do the torque convertor. $5500 out the door with tax seemed like a bargain so went for it. Surprised only a one year warranty, but it drives and shifts like new again.
