Mercedes-Benz OM617 is in my experience one of the world's best engines I grew up with Mercedes my grandfather and father have always had Mercedes and as a car mechanic I have never seen a Mercedes with the diesel engine OM617 that did not go and repair them are immortal now I have only worked as a car mechanic for 6 years. But it is wrong to say that that car has traveled 1 million miles when the engine has been changed 3 times because then it is only the body that has kept 1 million miles For example, I have seen many Mercedes W123 300Ds with OM617 engines that have traveled 1 million miles

I know a guy who drives Honda Fit with 1.200.000km on his car, original engine and all, except the alternator which he had to replace at approx. 1 million km and drivetrain parts replacement (struts, brakes and rotors). His oil change regimen is impeccable, every 5000km, coolant every 50.000km and manual gear oil every 150.000km, non-aggressive driving style, no fast accelerations at traffic lights and all that crap that young drivers do. The main thing is, he says the car is not showing any signs of aging, engine still purrs nicely with zero oil consumption/bypass. One more little secret he shared, he has been pouring lucas upper cylinder lubricant into his gas tank with each tank fill-up, never missed a tank refill without the stuff poured in first...
I have an ex-police car with almost 8000 hours of idling, but only 90K miles. It still runs and drives like new, despite being driven hard in service. The only powertrain things it’s ever needed is a cooling fan and an intake gasket (although the intake gasket was precautionary). Just keep up on regular maintenance and don’t beat on the car when it’s not at operating temperature or much at all otherwise. My old Subaru got to be more than 20 years old with just regular maintenance, it eventually rusted out though. Powertrain was like new.
He is right, it matters how you drive your vehicle. I bought a Saturn SL, put over 375k miles on it and pass it to my nephew that put a ton of miles before selling it. Original engine and transmission.

@@TitanUranus69 I can agree to this. I have a ‘05 Hyundai Elantra, first car and and when I first got it I drove it easy. No hard breaking, no unnecessary acceleration, didn’t stomp on the gas at a red light, and etc. Then I started doing those things when I got comfortable and I noticed I had to put more maintenance into it than I should’ve.

Even though late 90s cars were plastic and tin mostly in my opinion, since I was born in 1998. I still believe they are reliable for their time compared to some 70s cars. My first car was a 1988 Oldsmobile 88, and a person I know had reportedly put 500k before he rebuilt the Buick 3800 V6 in the same car like I had. It usually also depends on the driver, and how strong the internals on the motor are. I driven my first car to 300k, and it would have done more if it hadn't got vandalized.
Cars in the 70s and 80s were mostly unreliable turds apart from some utility vehicles and fleet sales vehicles. Odometers didn’t usually go past 100K in those times.
As much as I hate to say it, this is true. Old engines were built with low tolerances, and weren't meant to last more than 200 thousand miles at the MOST. Spark plugs, fuel filters, carburetors, needed to be changed and tinkered with constantly to keep the car running semi-decent. It wasn't abnormal in those times to get your engine rebuilt every few years, just as "regular maintenance". Cars back then also had abysmal factory rust-proofing and used poor quality steel, and typically thin, C channel frames (Looking at you, General Motors B body) that would rot out quickly, along with the bodies. The suspensions were soft, and because of this, were constantly moving, wearing out ball joints, bushings, and shocks extremely quickly. They used old steering boxes, that would wear out within only a few thousand miles, developing immense amounts of slop, making the cars downright dangerous at highways speeds. Vinyl wrapped dashboards that would split like the grand canyon after only a few years, hard plastic steering wheels that would crumble apart, cardboard backed door panels that would peel off at the bottoms from water splashing up on them, shag carpet that would collect water and mold due to the absymal factory panel fitment and weatherstripping, causing water to leak in, even on brand new cars. Even tires have improved since that time, the old Bias Ply tires would be worn down bald within less than half the amount of time a typical Radial lasted in the 90s. I love old cars, as they ride great, offer huge amounts of space, and are easy to service, but I can't deny that they just weren't built to the same standard as cars were in the 90s and later (Although, I'm starting to think new cars today might be just as bad as the 70s and 80s cars, quality wise).
I knew a guy who frequently had to drive across the country for work. He had an old Volkswagen Beatle that hit 1 million. He had paperwork for all of the work he's ever had to have done to it, and once Volkswagen heard that his car hit a million, they bought the car back from him and gave him a brand new car.
Pennsylvania resident here. As a kid, I saw signs all across my home state with childish writing that said "Buckle up, next million miles." Ever since then, I've been wondering if it's possible to go a million miles. This man has proven that it is indeed possible.
I'm sure this was clipped in editing I don't think they showed up to it reading all 9s. Unless the guy had a dyno in his garage and ran it up to all 9s for the video or parked in some random persons driveway
Yeah definitely toyotas have done that many times with the same engine and powertrain. And yes hyundai as well did it with the same engine/powertrain which is why I laugh when people compare honda and Hyundai acting like hyundai is pure shit lol
You could get a engine for under 1k and if you give kickbacks to the mechanic who works on the car then it'll be cheaper replacing it as well [remember he works at a dealership]
i think most vehicles have the potential to do this, i think the determining factor is the owners, cars are typically owned by people who will drive it till something goes bang Semi trucks on the other hand are owned by corporations who see them as a capital investment, that means the cost of downtime is too high to skimp on the maintenance, also not all semi trucks are truly original, if you wanna go down an internet rabbit hole of pre emissions diesel vins being preserved and then look up "Glider Trucks" there is a whole cottage industry of companies that rebuild engines and transmissions on decades old trucks and even build entirely new bodies to skirt emissions laws, people could be driving 50 year old trucks that look like a 2022.
There’s a good chance he simply had it rebuilt 3 times, not actually replaced. Even a Toyota or Lexus engine would need to be rebuilt periodically to get that kind of mileage. Honda’s are also excellent vehicles.
I wonder if a supercar can break that record ♡♡♡ but given how most majority of owners treat their cars , well thats a whole different story :'D hahahaha

The tundra you were talking about did have 1 million miles on the original engine but not the transmission.
I have a 2001 Jeep. Finally hit 100,000 miles spring of 22. I love my Jeep. A lot. Runs like a dream.
Honda makes some of the best engines in the world, I would think it would’ve gone through 3 transmissions. He probably went to far between oil changes.
Or counts a new engine as an oil change
Mercedes-Benz OM617 is in my experience one of the world's best engines I grew up with Mercedes my grandfather and father have always had Mercedes and as a car mechanic I have never seen a Mercedes with the diesel engine OM617 that did not go and repair them are immortal
now I have only worked as a car mechanic for 6 years.
But it is wrong to say that that car has traveled 1 million miles when the engine has been changed 3 times because then it is only the body that has kept 1 million miles
For example, I have seen many Mercedes W123 300Ds with OM617 engines that have traveled 1 million miles
He's probably been through more than 3 transmissions. Honda makes shitty transmissions.
@@MrKEMills Their "geared" automatic transmissions aren't the greatest, but their manual transmissions and from what I've heard, their CVTs are great!
european cars are rubbish, all show but no go 🤣 japanese cars are the best in reliability, just face facts, if you don't like it or not it's the truth.
My 94 Ford Ranger 2.3L with 390K miles still runs great. Orignal engine and transmission. Can't wait to hit 1 million miles ... but that will be in 2050 (approx)

i mean it’s really just the chasis. he’s replaced the engine 3 times and probably everything else more. every new engine he might as well reset the odometer
With another new engine, transmission, chassis, body and suspension, that car should be good for at least another million miles!
I have nothing but respect for anyone who takes care of their tools.
My aunt's 2001 Toyota Celica is just over 750,000 miles with the original 4-cylinder. Had to repair the A/C and the transmission and it certainly isn't the most attractive but otherwise it's still going strong.

I know a guy who drives Honda Fit with 1.200.000km on his car, original engine and all, except the alternator which he had to replace at approx. 1 million km and drivetrain parts replacement (struts, brakes and rotors). His oil change regimen is impeccable, every 5000km, coolant every 50.000km and manual gear oil every 150.000km, non-aggressive driving style, no fast accelerations at traffic lights and all that crap that young drivers do. The main thing is, he says the car is not showing any signs of aging, engine still purrs nicely with zero oil consumption/bypass. One more little secret he shared, he has been pouring lucas upper cylinder lubricant into his gas tank with each tank fill-up, never missed a tank refill without the stuff poured in first...
That lucas upper cylinder lubricant is amazing.
I have an ex-police car with almost 8000 hours of idling, but only 90K miles. It still runs and drives like new, despite being driven hard in service. The only powertrain things it’s ever needed is a cooling fan and an intake gasket (although the intake gasket was precautionary). Just keep up on regular maintenance and don’t beat on the car when it’s not at operating temperature or much at all otherwise. My old Subaru got to be more than 20 years old with just regular maintenance, it eventually rusted out though. Powertrain was like new.
He is right, it matters how you drive your vehicle. I bought a Saturn SL, put over 375k miles on it and pass it to my nephew that put a ton of miles before selling it. Original engine and transmission.
This guy I know bought a 2008 6.4 power stroke and he drove for a living,,,he is still using it today ,,never had an issue, he takes care of it like you should,,original everything,,,it hit 1 million miles 3 months ago,,he and I still trust it to go another million,,the secret is ,,you take care of it ,,it will take care of you
It's crazy the engines didn't make it but the transmission did wow
Well he did say he was an easy driver, so that much on a well talen care of factory transmission is believable imo
@@TitanUranus69 I can agree to this. I have a ‘05 Hyundai Elantra, first car and and when I first got it I drove it easy. No hard breaking, no unnecessary acceleration, didn’t stomp on the gas at a red light, and etc. Then I started doing those things when I got comfortable and I noticed I had to put more maintenance into it than I should’ve. It really does make a difference on how you drive. The same could be said for what type of gas you put into it, the parts you use, and how often you get it checked out.
If you were wondering the highest mileage car is a 1966 Volvo p1800s with over 3 million miles. Best part is it still has the original engine!

Even though late 90s cars were plastic and tin mostly in my opinion, since I was born in 1998. I still believe they are reliable for their time compared to some 70s cars. My first car was a 1988 Oldsmobile 88, and a person I know had reportedly put 500k before he rebuilt the Buick 3800 V6 in the same car like I had. It usually also depends on the driver, and how strong the internals on the motor are. I driven my first car to 300k, and it would have done more if it hadn't got vandalized.
Cars in the 70s and 80s were mostly unreliable turds apart from some utility vehicles and fleet sales vehicles. Odometers didn’t usually go past 100K in those times.
As much as I hate to say it, this is true. Old engines were built with low tolerances, and weren't meant to last more than 200 thousand miles at the MOST. Spark plugs, fuel filters, carburetors, needed to be changed and tinkered with constantly to keep the car running semi-decent. It wasn't abnormal in those times to get your engine rebuilt every few years, just as "regular maintenance". Cars back then also had abysmal factory rust-proofing and used poor quality steel, and typically thin, C channel frames (Looking at you, General Motors B body) that would rot out quickly, along with the bodies. The suspensions were soft, and because of this, were constantly moving, wearing out ball joints, bushings, and shocks extremely quickly. They used old steering boxes, that would wear out within only a few thousand miles, developing immense amounts of slop, making the cars downright dangerous at highways speeds. Vinyl wrapped dashboards that would split like the grand canyon after only a few years, hard plastic steering wheels that would crumble apart, cardboard backed door panels that would peel off at the bottoms from water splashing up on them, shag carpet that would collect water and mold due to the absymal factory panel fitment and weatherstripping, causing water to leak in, even on brand new cars. Even tires have improved since that time, the old Bias Ply tires would be worn down bald within less than half the amount of time a typical Radial lasted in the 90s.
I love old cars, as they ride great, offer huge amounts of space, and are easy to service, but I can't deny that they just weren't built to the same standard as cars were in the 90s and later (Although, I'm starting to think new cars today might be just as bad as the 70s and 80s cars, quality wise).
I knew a guy who frequently had to drive across the country for work. He had an old Volkswagen Beatle that hit 1 million. He had paperwork for all of the work he's ever had to have done to it, and once Volkswagen heard that his car hit a million, they bought the car back from him and gave him a brand new car.
He sold his reliable car for a pos😂
Pennsylvania resident here. As a kid, I saw signs all across my home state with childish writing that said "Buckle up, next million miles." Ever since then, I've been wondering if it's possible to go a million miles. This man has proven that it is indeed possible.

Bro🥹 it's a fake one as there's 3 engine changes
1:22 To the moon and back is an average of 478000 miles. This achievement is more than two times that.
I knew Honda’s were one of the most reliable cars but wow.
I also have a 20 year old axe. Only had to replace the handle 5 times and the head 4 times. Other than that, it’s been great so far…

You could get a engine for under 1k and if you give kickbacks to the mechanic who works on the car then it'll be cheaper replacing it as well [remember he works at a dealership]
Big rigs do 1 million miles all the time.
It's just an engineering decision to not make family cars last long.
Engines are also bigger in big rigs. Its not like they are gonna put a big rig cummins engine or a cat engine in a car😂
@@deshawnjosshua3775 vans have similar sized engines to family cars, and they do way more miles
i think most vehicles have the potential to do this, i think the determining factor is the owners,
cars are typically owned by people who will drive it till something goes bang
Semi trucks on the other hand are owned by corporations who see them as a capital investment, that means the cost of downtime is too high to skimp on the maintenance,
also not all semi trucks are truly original, if you wanna go down an internet rabbit hole of pre emissions diesel vins being preserved and then look up "Glider Trucks" there is a whole cottage industry of companies that rebuild engines and transmissions on decades old trucks and even build entirely new bodies to skirt emissions laws, people could be driving 50 year old trucks that look like a 2022.
Three engines! Reminds me of triggers broom from from only fools and horses
There’s a guy named Irv Gordon who drove his 1966 Volvo P1800 over 3 million miles. Pretty sure he didn’t even garage it, legend.

3 engines later lol Lexus does that on one engine :)

There’s a good chance he simply had it rebuilt 3 times, not actually replaced. Even a Toyota or Lexus engine would need to be rebuilt periodically to get that kind of mileage. Honda’s are also excellent vehicles.
