100,000 Miles

[jtpasto]

I just reached 100000 miles today. 2022 Black Diamond, 2DR 2.3L, 7MT. Do you notice anything unusual in the mileage pictures? At 100000 miles the odometer does not show tenths of mile only whole miles.

Same one I had (2023 color and trim) until I replaced with a black 2024 Heritage.

Nice! Any tips on vehicle care, such as how often you did oil changes, type of oil used, etc? I also have a 2.3L manual and am hoping for a long vehicle life.

The lack of tenths would bug me. I guess it's a good excuse to upgrade to the new cluster!

Pluto gone, pennies gone, now the tenths! Release me from the bitter pain I called life!!!!!! On a serious note, is it still there on the trip meter?

I bet at the million mile mark it only counts every additional 100 miles. Lol

To answer a few questions:
Clutch: as long as you match engine rpm with transmission rpm there is no wear on the clutch. This doesn't apply when you start to move. I don't anticipate any clutch problems as long as the throughout bearing is of good quality. I had over 400000 miles on the original clutch in a Tacoma when I sold it.
Oil and Oil Change: I use Motorcraft 5W-30 semi synthetic motor oil and Motorcraft oil filter. I never run over 5000 miles on an oil change. If I am going to go on a trip, I change the oil early, so I don't run over 5000 miles.

Also interested in a 100k clutch report!

My experience is a clutch will last a lifetime most of the time if only one person drives the vehicle. Multiple drivers lead clutches to premature deaths.

I got 300k put of my 2006 FJ before I had to get a new clutch. Hoping for the same with my Heritage.

My wife and I got 230,000 miles on her Geo Storm clutch. And even then rust got the vehicle, the clutch was still fine.

Leads me to feel if the design is solid a clutch should not wear out, unless it sees hard usage (off-roading perhaps requiring more than usual clutch slippage navigating obstacles) or mediocre drivers.

I'd say the 21.7 ave mpg is noteworthy!!!
