Yea i used mine with about 33k on it. the oil pump or something went, all i know is that i was running on no oil in the car for like two days because of it and they had to replace basically all the internals on the engine... ooo, i forgot again around 35k, after i got it back and the work was done, because the computer shorted out on me..

Had the auto shifter break, it wouldn't ever let me remove the key.

Use it all you can guys, because once it's up repair fees are NOT going to be pretty.
