    338K miles on my 2014. It's, uh, going ok. Couple bottles of K-Seal over the years, countless quarts of oil, a bunch of bottles of coolant, and about 5 rounds of EGR/IM cleaning, and recently the OCC. The knocks, the rattles, the shakes, the tremors. Still going though! :unsure:

    This girl had an unfortunate accident on 253k, due to liability not covered so I ll take care of it. The coolant reservoir cracked at the collision so was towed. But it's running I checked inside and outside. Needs new reservoir, fender replacement and new headlight as well as windshield. I was able take off the headlights easily but need a help for fender, specifically bolts behind the windows. Thanks 20210727_144423.jpeg Screenshot_20210801-211826_eBay.jpeg

    Finally doing the cleanings at 253k after an accident that people do about 120k, just wanna show pics so far I got, in short, I ve never seen a dirty thing like this :)
    2 out of 4 tiny holes of manifold was almost fully clogged
    Also, as you see, the cylinders looks like carbon tanks, do you think shall I rub them to outside?
    My idea is manifold cleaning, pcv replacement, OCC install, coils and s.plugs replacement at this time, thinking a second round for EGR, you think EGR part easier when manifold off or doesnt matter ? 20210825_134756.jpeg 20210825_130503.jpeg 20210825_123649.jpeg 20210825_122150.jpeg 20210825_122145.jpeg 20210825_122143.jpeg

    Doesn't matter.

    Exept, that you pretty much have to take the engine air filter box off for both, but that goes quick.

    Judging from the interior of the EGR pipe, it's time to clean the cooler/valve again.

    Thank you, yes, EGR pipe made me thought the same way. But following my plan except sparks and coils for this round. After get it done, I ll use some cleaners in both gas and oil tank for a highway trip, then second round comes for EGR with oil change

    Just finished the first round and had a test drive around the neighborhood. It started like new, without even a hassle or misfire, no check engine light came on. Drives way much smoother and quieter. Thanks to @NutzAboutBolts, Mendel, and all others!
    Installed the OCC by cutting the pcv hose and merged with an adapter that came with the OCC order

    Wherever barbed connectors are used (all the new connections), you could try without hose clamps. I've read hose clamps in that scenario are overkill, may even be hard on the hose. Without clamps they're quite effectively sealed by the sharp edges of the hose barbs, and still free to rotate slightly. Plus it looks neater, more pro, without the clamps.
