I legitimately want the littlest wear possible and want the car to last 200,000 plus. All thoughts and opinions are appreciated. I thought I'd try 5w40 see if I noticed a change and nothing... Exactly the same .

I'll paypal you or your charity of choice a $100 if you run it over 200k without selling or trading it in. (better save a link to this thread)
I think Vegas has the over/under at 80k miles, actually.
Can I ?
My wife's 2000 E430 is almost 190k miles, it will be over 200k miles in about a year.
I have documents to prove that I am the original owner, bought it new in 2000.
PS My record is bad, my former 1994 LS400 had more than 380k miles on odometer.
Just having some fun here.
