170k miles.
One hundred and seventy thousand - am I writing a check?
What have I changed?
Oil - Valvoline Full Synthetic, I like to buy my own filter ($5) and take it to the Valvoline shop (hence the brand of oil) because they're the only quick-lube that won't leave your car in worse shape than you brought it - and they're open on Sunday. If I didn't bring my own filter, it's a "specialty" part and would cost $30 through them. I run at least half my miles on gas due to visiting family on the weekend, M-F is 100% electric.
Tires - After OEM tires wearing out, I replaced them with a Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3+. Changed from a 215/55R17 to a 235/50R17. Same diameter, 1" wider. They make you feel like you're STUCK to the road. Would NOT recommend for snow, of course snow tires are best, but those skinny hybrid tires are excellent for focusing more vehicle weight into cutting some tread into packed snow on the road. First set went 80k, and each set of Michelins last 65k though they're only a 45k tire due to the soft compound.
Floor mats - The stock carpet/foam ones didn't last long. Started tearing at the grommets. Replaced with a full set of all-weather OEM mats. Grommets still like to pop apart like on the carpet set, but at least you can put them right back together and the mat itself isn't damaged.
Headlights - 3 sets, first was OEM, then Sylvania SilverStars, now Sylvania SilverStar Ultra. A nice color for a halogen!
Air filter - changed once, basic Fram
Battery coolant - changed a few times when troubleshooting during some warranty work for disappearing coolant
Radiator - part of the aforementioned warranty work, was found leaking but not damaged
What worth noting is still original?
- Shocks
- Brakes
- Engine coolant
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Traction battery
- 12V battery
- Spark plugs w/ 120k gas miles
- WIPERS. THE ORIGINAL WIPERS. They still work as if it's Day 1 and have not deteriorated in performance or detached. I'm guessing AC Delco?
- All accessory lightning
