Hi, I have a very well maintained 2008 V6 Camry with full service history. Just curious about how many kilometres could be expected from my engine. Thank you

This is very much dependent the frequency of oil changes and using quality fuel. Oil is cheap so do oil changes based upon extreme driving conditions in your owner's manual. As a rule of thumb do oil changes every 6 months or 5000 kms. Do this and you can expect about 400,000 kms of troublefree motoring before any major engine work needs to be done. The 400,000 kms figure was told to be by someone in Wagga Wagga NSW who used to work at a Toyota dealership.

My Oct.2006 Toyota Aurion has just hit the 226K mark and to "celebrate" the water pump bearing has gone bad. After a new water pump, I will be ready to rack up more kms.

Something else that I have been doing is regular changes of the ATF to hopefully extend the life of the transmission. Good idea to change the ATF every 70K or 3 years.

Please take the time to listen to this YouTube video particularly after the 23 minute mark.
