"Fleet Maintained"? Meaning a oil change every 150k miles?
-
yeah oil changed, whatever broke they fixed. stuff like that,
-
i change my oil every 50k miles btw lol

Exactly 956,233 Miles. No More No Less.

Depends.A million + is very common. Some less than 500,00. Depends on driver, maintenance schedule, many variables.If I had to pick an average, my guess would be around 8 to 9 hundred thousand.
Also it depends on your idea of an inframe. If you run it till it breaks, obviously it will run more miles than a preventive 0/haul. Use your oil analysis as a good guide to determine when to open an engine up.
You said 'CAN GO". Have heard of some over 1.5 million.Sure others have heard of more. -
maintained even remotely close to how a 12.7 should be,overhead run,etc.,that 12.7 should very well eclipse the million mile mark.easily.

i would imagine a semi engine would be just as long lasting as a car engine. relatively speaking.
regular oil changes and overheads. and you could get long life. minus the gears and what not.
