I have a chance to buy a realy nice 02' car with a smooth running 2.7 in it with 74k miles. Is there some maninance procedures that would make this engine last?

Thanks

Its called keep up with the maintenence period. Oil changes every 3-5 thousand miles works wonders. I have 155000 on mine now and just replaced the waterpump due to a leak I had for over a year. Small gumming problem in the oil pick up tube causing an oil light flicker. All else is good. Must have got lucky on my 2.7!!!!
