apx 120,000 on turbo motors and aprox 160,000 on na's depending on how they are maintained, and driven.

well in reality rotarys die out when they are mistreated, i know people that have had an engine last them past 200k and still going strong, then theres the people that blow their seals 20k after a rebuild.

no one is saying not to work the engine, just dont do something stupid.

my s4 n/a engine has never been majorly worked on since it came out of the factory, of course it only has 81k miles on the entire car, but still.
