I know this has nothing to do w/ the w/p on the 2.5L Duratec but our work van went 329,000 miles on the original w/p Its a 1997 Safari w/ a 4.3 liter Vortec that has the cooling system flushed twice a year and driven 100% freeway miles. Currently the van has 334K and still has the original radiator and transmission, the engine is original too except the oil pump failed at 100K :p besides that the motor has never had any work done to it outside of a tune up at the 100K intervals Sorry about the rant here but I'm damn proud of the job I do on the preventive maintence of all our work vans, I see 400K+ for that van and by the way, I run 10w30 in the winter and 20w50 in the summer and its changed every 2 weeks, as the van goes 1500 a week
