What year is your 400K miles 9-5 ?. My 1999 5 spd LPT (Garrett GT-17) daily driver 4D sedan is at 222K, but my 2nd turbo rebuild is starting some mornings with the blue oil fog burst. Gotta do the Mitsubishi TD-04 turbo upgrade this Spring!! Car suspension swapped out for used Aero struts/coils but not sway bars. Dropped oil pan this Thanksgiving after owning car for 10 years and no sludge/grit. Found oil pickup screen 75% clogged and did coarser stainless mesh upgrade which quieted down noisy hydraulic lifters, but maybe pushing more oil past turbo bearing. Still love car for balanced comfort, ride, economy, performance, passenger and cargo space and styling. Some rust in rear wheel arch to rocker panel areas. Gonna run this car till it quits!!
