Got a new rear diff due to it leaking and a new valve cover at my last warranty checkup.
Just did wallnut blasting and it was nowhere near as bad as a N54 with half the mileage.
I'd advise anyone thinking about it to save their money.
About to do a full control arm and tie rod and sway bar bushing refresh due to a wierd knocking sound from my front suspension.
Interestingly enough the front sway bar bushing is not available on its own. So I had to go upgraded power flex version.
Just FYI, I had a rattle/knock and lazily had it diagnosed by a shop that I trusted. They told me it was control arms. I later went to change them myself and turned out the knock was nothing more than a loose sway bolt. Maybe worth a look.

4.8?

at 100k it needed block/oil cooler seal, front timing gasket, valve cover gasket(spark plugs and valley pan while at it). havent touch the radiator but watching carefully
oil consumption is low so I think we can go 150k

both rear airbags at 90k

I'll hit 100k this week. Almost 30k in two years, about 10k in the last two months, practically flawless operation, awesome driving experience and fantastic economy. No warranty.

I'll replace air and fuel filter soon and suspension and shocks next year. Want to install an oil catch can and clean the intake and swirl flaps. Like to get some new 20" wheels and tires, too.

2009 4.8 just hit 100k. And getting ready to do the airbags as well. Very slow leak down if it sits long enough. All in all runs like a champ.

Hit that milestone last month. 100450.
Just had front control arm bushings replaced, sub-frame had two screws not torqued to spec, made an intermittent clunking noise, fixed that. ATF flush and fill, filters replaced, oil and brake fluid/service. Cabin filters, air filters etc. My tech told me the coolant system looks good still, no leaks anywhere. Said to keep an eye on it as they all go around this mileage. Checked the valley pan area, no problems. Compression test and 8 new coils and plugs. Maintainance stuff. I found a very reputable tech in my area who works primarily on German vehicles and is very fair with his pricing. Next will be new tires. The Conti run flats have a little longer. I really don't like those tires. They are noisy. I can't wait to get new ones. Runs fantastic, I love my 4.8!

151,000 Miles on mine. Its been relatively smooth sailing. I have a warranty to 200,000 miles that covers quite a few things that I bought after the CPO warranty ended. Its covered gaskets and seals which has been a godsend.

Purchased and extended warranty that also has seals and gaskets, which just took care of Valve Guide seals Oil Cooler Seal and Vacuum pump seals. Extended warranty has paid for itself and then some. The Indy shop that did the work said the extended was great to deal with.
