At what mileage does one expect a 4 cylinders mazda 626 engine need replacement?|||The smoking is probably due to leaking valve guides. Oil pools on top of the cylinder head and when the car is turned off some will leak into the cylinders and accumulate to be burned off when the car is started. Oil is actually leaking into the cylinders while the car is running but it's such a small amount that you don't notice any smoke. It's a simple repair and nothing to be overly concerned about.
How long an engine will last depends on how well it has been maintained, if it has been abused, and chance. The average is probably about 200,000 miles but averages are meaningless as far as a particular engine goes. Some don't need replacement for hundreds of thousands of miles and some need replacement in a few thousand miles from new.
