The life expectancy of a Detroit Diesel 12V92 engine typically ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 hours of operation, depending on maintenance practices, usage conditions, and operating loads. With proper care, regular maintenance, and timely overhauls, some engines may even exceed this range. Factors like fuel quality, lubrication, and cooling systems also play a crucial role in determining longevity. Overall, diligent upkeep can significantly enhance the engine's lifespan.

How long does a semi engine last?
If it's properly maintained, it should last a million miles (eight years) with no huge problems. A lot of guys who are real good about having their maintenance done can get a million and a half out of one.These engines are made differently than are car engines--they've got liners in the cylinders, liners in the crank tunnel and so on--so they can be rebuilt to be as good as new. There are diesel blocks that were cast in the 1950s that are still in service.I know of a Detroit Diesel 12V92 that's in a generator set in Yongsan, Korea. They installed the engine in the mid-1950s, it's running to this day, and they've never even had the heads off it.
