@bryancarlson3673 yes in the 1980’s as a schoolboy then admittedly I had no experience but some of my friends parents who were lucky to be able to pay more money would instead of getting an Austin Rover car would get a BMW or Mercedes because they were German and the engineering reputation they have. At the end of the 90’s my mate picked up a 325 that was a 1988 or 89 model if I remember. Lovely nice strong car with the fantastic straight 6 engine. I was helping my boss one day check her oil in a 1 series and was shocked to look under the hood. I couldn’t understand why even though she has no mechanical knowledge was not able to top her oil up. I found a square plastic oil cap that had got stuck on from all the heat, and not enough room around the rocker cover to get a good grip to remove it. I looked around further and saw all the rest of the plastic and thought “this is a BMW”?. A few days later I told a mechanic in my local pub and he says it’s common problem, he’s made a makeshift tool for removing stuck oil caps on modern BMW’s and said they were trash. Nice to drive yes and quite a few are good looking cars but endless money pits due to poor design and quality and plastics. I also couldn’t believe how black her oil was and that’s when I heard about the ridiculous 20000 mile service interval. Pure gimmick, even fully synthetic oil doesn’t last anywhere near that long. The maximum miles anyone should go is 10000 and that’s if journeys are long so minimal stop start driving. For around town driving and short commutes to work the oils best performance is only good for 5000. At 5000 on my Focus the oil is starting to look a bit dirty but even at a 5000 change you can hear the difference with fresh oil, it’s quieter on cold start and quieten downs a little quicker too with that fresh oil and filter. Longer than 5000 I’d feel I was damaging the engine using old oil let alone 20000. So even on a 4 year old car my boss was burning oil in that 1 series. And if the car has turbos and oil is only changed every 20000 that’s just ridiculous, new turbos and an engine prematurely wearing out. I suppose people that can afford to change their car every 2 or 3 years won’t see the damage, it’s the people who end up buying a used BMW with low mileage like 60000 and thinking great I’ve got a fairly new 4-5 year old BMW with only 60000 miles only to find the turbos are really whining from damage from old oil clogging up the return feed and starving them of oil and they are putting a litre of oil in every 1000 miles, and the car is about to become a huge moneypit.

Most engines today (GDI & GDI/Turbo engines) are garbage for extended reliability, compared to most of the naturally-aspirated port-injected engines that preceded them. People who fell for the 10K oil change scam also made it even worse. Automakers today only build to meet fuel-economy regulation requirements & to last the engine/power-train warranty period & could care less beyond that. They want you in a new vehicle every 4-5 years (or sooner).

I changed engine oil regularly every 3k miles and there was no trace of any sludge in the engine at 300k miles when I replaced valve cover gaskets.

In the UK. I picked up a Ford Focus but was very wary of a 3 cylinder 1.0 turbo Eco Boost. On the MK3 very soon after introduction those 3 cylinder are your only choice. I was lucky and grabbed a tried and trusted Duratec engine, a 4 cylinder 1.6 vct with no wet belt or the dodgy oil pump. It’s a manual not a Powershift auto transmission, the big problem with especially US as most people don’t drive manuals. Change oil full synthetic every 5000 miles and it doesn’t burn any oil. Picked up at 67k miles a few years ago on nearly 98k and hope to have it many years I look after it and never neglect those oil changes. Had a water pipe leak and need replacing and a regulator on the drivers window but fingers crossed it’s been a good car and nice to drive. Focus handoff very nice for a small family hatchback. Nice sound quality on the in car entertainment lots of options, easy Bluetooth connection for my iPhone, voice control, parking sensors etc. decent spec for a 2011 Ford, the interiors are vastly improved over the Mark 2’s which I always thought looked too basic.

The worst car I ever bought was a 2011 F150 , It was broke down so often I had to buy a used car to get around in and after 2 years that truck only had 56,000klm on it '' mostly highway'' and the dealer said '' If I was you id dump this because in 4000klm the warranty for everything but the motor and trans is done. So I traded it for a 2014 Toyota that only lasted 3 months before the trans was slipping so bad I was not able to get on the highway or up the hill to my house and the dealer said when it stops moving we can fix it '' first and last toyota for me '' so I traded that for a kia and got 2 years out of that before the motor lost 50% of it's power, I could not pass on the highway so if I got behind a big truck I was stuck there, New cars are junk and they are made of used can's and plastic and then they want you to pay 3 times the price,

I presently drive a 2020 Ford Escape, 1.5T 3-cyl. It has cylinder deactivation and auto start-stop. I deactivate auto start-stop. I find it annoying. The vehicle has 30,000 miles, has been serviced regularly and is running well. Will this engine make it to 60,000 miles?

I apologize if you have covered this question In a previous video I may not have seen. My mother purchased a new 2024 Mitsubishi RVR awc. I believed it was great idea because Mitsubishi in Canada has the best warranty in the industry. If you have a moment or anyone sees this and has an opinion, what are your thoughts on new rvr?

At 160k on my BMW with the M57 6cyl diesel. It's been a great car. Hoping to keep it past 200k miles

I have 24 years Toyota Corolla that I originally brought used from 78 years estate with Original Tire about 10 yearsa ago with 22K original miles. The car is currently has 65K with new tire valve cover gasget new brake. My family want to get rid of this car and buy Hyundia that this clip shown.

What about the 1.5L engine in the 2016 and up Chevy Malibu? My well maintained 2016 Malibu LT 1.5L Turbo Engine went bad at 35k miles on it and GM basically told me to piss up a rope. They wouldn’t do anything for me yet they have had a Service Bulletin out on the Engine destroying pistons and rings. GM should have had a recall on those engines.

Next time provide the model years of the engines. If someone listen to this they would assume all years if they aren't a car enthusiast. Bmw solved all those problems.

Planned obsolescence

People that buy a turbo engine don't realize that after destination need to keep the engine running for a minute. Why, because hot oil in the turbo burns out the turbo. By running the engine for a minute puts vooler oil into the turbo. Oil changes every 3.5k miles, because the turbo oil cooled breaks down the oil much faster.

@pepeshopping

Ай бұрын

This is not the 90s! For regular driving, you do not need to cool it. Only after being on boost for a long up hill etc. Even then, there may be exceptions, but the ECU monitors oil and water temperature plus boost and they do have electric water pumps that can stay on for a minute after shutting down the engine. But yes, heat breaks down oil and the ignorant, cheap people don’t use synthetic oil, which is the only oil you should use in a hot turbo.

@aantonic

Agree with that except oil changes. I have vw 1.4tdi engine and change oil around every 10k km ,but its full syntetic oil. Now has 300k km on odometer, run smooth like the day i bought it
