What? I'm guessing you mean oil-consumption...

I wouldn't go that far. I've seen many maintained hondas last past 350k miles... I'll stick to my LS1 though - currently at 110k with no problems (and zero oil consumption).

I've got 104k and thought that was high! Now I don't feel so bad! Looking forward to many more miles...

yeah no doubt a honda will last, but they rust like swiss cheese(esp in the wheel wells) with lots of salt(see shity canadian winters!).....the newer ones are slightly better, but only marginally.

We have a Work truck with a 6.0 with over 330 thousand miles on it. Uses about a quart of oil a week but it keeps on goin. Not to shabby on power either for so many miles.

I've got 175xxx miles on my 99 T/A. It only uses about half a quart of oil every 3-4k miles.

118K on the T/A and its still running strong with no oil consumption idles at 40psi. About to put the SS at 80k and it idles at almost 60 psi. I cant say enough about the LS1, I thrash and thrash and it always takes it like a champ. If you take care of this engine it will just keep on going.
