That's awesome. I would say that is some good proof that we all worry about changing our oil too much. 10k changes and 450k miles. Nice work!

My '99 had 215,000 miles when I totaled it; 150,000 were mine. Engine ran strong & didn't burn oil, drivetrain (manual) was good except for an occasional crunch going into 4th. Seats were worn & would have needed replacement. I could have bought it back with a salvage title, but the thought of what could go wrong deterred me; especially the magnetic shocks. And State Farm made an offer I couldn't refuse, so got an '07 C6...

Dang, sorry to hear. I was planning a road trip in my C5 & that's my greatest fear.

99 pewter coupe with 235,000 miles. Still runs good.
Supercharger install at 149k. Engines in the C5 are good and reliable.
Responds well to mods.
