Not per se - there's usually a reason for it! What's up?

With regular oil changes (3,000 miles) then you can get mega-mileage from them. I worked in a garage that used a 3.5 for pulling a car trailer, when I left it had 247,000 miles and had just had a top-end overhaul (the first one).

I personally had a very sweet 3.5 Vogue with 120,000 on, no work done at all, just regular servicing.
