My car engine seized on a recent road trip. Some experts I spoke to said that was not that unusual since I had 155,000 miles. Is that true? Is there anything I could have done to prevent this from happening?

Maintaining the preventive maintenance as scheduled could have prevented it from being seized-oil/coolant the major factor
