    How many miles do the Ford Transit Engines last?

    I have a little over 400,000 on F 250 super duty 7.3. Have run Mobil 1 since 100,000 miles. change the filter & add 2 quarts at 5000 miles then filter & full oil change next 5000 miles, along with fuel filter and air filter. So far nothing (knock on wood) has been done to engine.

    I believe there's more then #1 company out there that will do an oil analysis. Call or E mail they send you a small container, send it back with $10.00 or so and they send you the results.

    distance record

    I really don't know, BUT I don't think it's a good idea for your motor\engine to run your fuel down to a gallon left in the tank.
