300,000 miles on my d16a6 TODAY WOOHOO
I knew she would make it 
Now lets shoot for another 100,000- let's see, at about 2,400 per month, that would take about another 3.5 years.
More stats and some background:
Dyno'd last September with 119hp/109tq at the wheels
still getting nearly 40mpg
1/2 second slower than her peak (14.82@93mph) at ~200,000 miles

I think that's about where my boy is at too, but he might be closer to 290k...
BTW, all those miles were driven by me (I had it since new).

Re: 300,000 miles on my d16a6 TODAY WOOHOO (Blaze45)
Check out my Garage for some pics of "Old Yella"- she's the CRX that has Lulu's motor (my original owned since new CRX).
Unfortunately, no pics of the odometer at 300,000+ miles- I should have swapped in my odometer when I swapped the motor in. The odometer read 282,218 miles when I pulled the motor out and put it in the new CRX when the odometer read 189,000+ miles. Now it's at 218,300+ miles, which is the difference to make 300,000!!!
Too bad the tranny is about to go out (collapsed the spider gear from too much power). As a matter of fact that motor is about to break my 2nd tranny, I can hear weird noises Bittersweet if you ask me.

I don't stick to any brand of oil, just whatever is on sale or I win (from Infineon Raceway Wednesday nights- Kendall GT1). I don't think it really matters, because I change my oil about every 6 weeks. And I use Fram oil filters.

Finally some proof that Fram filters won't absolutely destroy a motor like the H-T bandwagoners seem to think.
