When you say you have the smaller engine, do you mean the 2.7? I've read that the earlier ones had a design flaw that caused oil sludging and major engine damage. Hopefully if you have a 2.7 it's a later engine or one that's been taken care of (synthetic oil, etc.). The larger v6's did not have this problem and did pretty well on FE.

Yea it is the 2.7L, I don't know if there was trouble with the sludge building up in the first 100k miles. I was lucky enough to have gotten it after the original owner had gone through some kind of deal with a dealer where by he had a new crate motor installed. I got it at about 7500 miles after the install. So if the first motor had issues, the newer one does not seem to. I just do normal oil changes and have had the crankshaft sensor and the basic brake work done.... beyond that boring but dependable and a pretty good work horse.
