Just tested a 94 accord with 374,000 to bad it didn't pass. But it ran great and did not leak a drop of oil.

I would say on average over 15,000 a year would be on the high side.

My DX has 134k but I swapped in a rebuilt VTEC head. The old head was not in the greatest shape.

I did get 305,000 mi on my 84 Accord over an 18 year period. Hondas in general a good at least to 200k.

my del sol VTEC (B16A3) has 241 754 miles right now, and it doesnt burn oil. It leaks because the oil pan gasket is shot, but thats about it.

140,000 on a '96 is reasonable and about average. Nobody can tell you how much longer it will last, because that depends on maintenance history and (ab)use rather than mileage alone. Not to mention the oiling problems that the D16Yx engines have . . .

My HPDE/TT track car currently has over 257,000 miles on its original drivetrain and is still not showing any signs of giving up soon. It consumes and leaks a normal amount of oil; I just keep the sump topped off and it is fine.
