How long does a remanufactured Volvo B28F engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured Volvo B28F engine typically lasts 150,000 to 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine.

Our remanufactured long blocks are built to OEM specifications using all-new internal components, which is why they deliver the same service life as a factory-new engine.
