I have a '97 850 sedan. Bought with 17K and now four years later have 114K. Still runs great. Have used both synthetic and regular oil, but always change under 5,000 miles. Replaced front pads twice, rotors once, rear pads once, rear shocks once, emissions air pump and check valve at about 70,000, right front wheel bearing at about 70,000. I do plugs (OEM) about every 30K and cap and rotor about each 60K. The car still feels, runs and looks nearly new. What a great car!!!!
