52,000 on my 2005. Still runs as smooth as the day I bought it. For the 60,000 mile service coming up I'm just going to buy the fluids from the dealership, the spark plugs from Kragen and have a trusted shop do the labor for me. The wires shouldn't need to be changed until 100,000 miles (as told to me by a Mitsubishi tech).

Oops. Im a huge hypocite. I have 67k and still havent done it yet. However, its being done next weekend, I was waitin on my J.A.M non tick lifter!

Here in California the timing belt can wait until 90,000 miles (according to the owner's manual). Maybe I'll split the difference and do it at 75,000. While I'm at it I'll also replace the water pump and thermostat.

Oh Boy. I wouldn't wait that long. The 4G63 is not forgiving if the timing belt breaks. Instant valve damage will occur and possibly a cracked piston. BTW, I also live in California and that didn't save my previous Mitsus from timing belt failure and pre-mature belt failure at that.
