how long did your opti last

MY original lasted 30k. I bought a new one and now at 60k I think it might be starting to go out again.... Is this normal or am I just unlucky...Also should I change the water pump while Im down there? There is no leakage yet.

Re: how long did your opti last

Wow, man, my original opti is still in my car, but my car is in my shop and i will be putting in a new opti real soon, mine has lasted 190,000 some odd thousand miles, stock opti, i bought the car for buisness and i drive everywhere, so, maybe its just the car. Good luck.

Re: how long did your opti last

My original opti lasted 100k then i swapped it out for a new opti. The original was still going strong but i just figured it was something that would leave me stranded soon enough so i replaced it.

Cap and rotor were trashed, replaced it with a cobbled together advance auto optical portion and a vented GM cap and rotor. over 20k on it without problems.

Re: how long did your opti last

About 90k for my orignial one, but that is also when my water pump went so I believe that had something to do with it. I have about 30k on my new one with no problems.
