Depends on mileage, altitude, fuel quality, oil changes.

But sure, never get a tune up ...

Not.

The pickup I use as my daily driver has 310,000 miles on it. It never would have lasted that long without steady maintenance and tuneups, which has a different meaning than it did in 1975.

But to the throwaway generation that we have now they just drive it until it dies and then get a new one.

A tune up today pretty much means changing engine and cabin air filters, oil change and fuel injector cleaner. Some of which won’t pop a code. If it’s over 100K miles throw in a change of spark plugs. But even those will throw a code if they’re too worn.

I drive a 2006 Corolla with 370K miles on it. Worn a/c pulley bearings and front wheel bearings is all it has going on with it. I’ll probably need to change them in 100K or so.
