    whats the best engine to get?

    I have worked on diesel engines that have covered 400k and still run your 150k is nothing so long as you change the engine oil and filter regular not every 12 months at 15k more like every 5 months at 6k it will run nice and sweet. Neglect is what kills an engine.
