You don't say what year. I have a '95 with 239K miles on it. I live on a rough road in the country so a lot of those miles were on bad road. Actually, it runs better than when it was new. I change my oil (Delo 400) at about 5K intervals. At that time I do the normal maintenance things: rotate tires, check brakes, adjust rear brakes, lube front caliper pins, grease where possible, check all fluids, check for wear in front end parts, check U-joints, look for leaks, inspect for things that just don't look right, and clean up under the hood. I expect to get well over 500K miles.
