VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  Volvo 240 last as long or longer then Mercedes Benz 300d? 200 posted by  benski on  Tue May 26 09:44 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sat Nov 21 02:39 CST 2009 [RELATED] I think I'll go ahead and open up a can of worms here. I don't think an average 240 will last as long as an average 300d, and here's why; the diesel is built heavier than the gas engine (it has to be to survive, obviously) and the lubricating properties of the fuel help a lot to keep all of the parts moving smoothly. That being said, I've got 393k on my highest mileage 245, and it still seems to run OK. Certainly maintenance, geographic location, and a bit of luck figure in to the equation as well.
