    Naa, leave it alone and try to push through the 200k mark! If you want to dig in a bit, for fun, run a compression and leakdown test to see how well it's "worn" over time.

    If it ain’t broke... my 05’ has over 180k and chirps the tires in all gears! All I have is a tail light that needs to be replaced. Other than a few cosmetics, it runs great...
