HONDA, TOYOTA, ACURA, LEXUS Recalls 4 Engine Bearings + Piston Rings | OW Oil + CAFE + ICE + EV

[@InfiniteSuccessAcademy]

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and a Power Engineer and, I'm sorry, but you really do not know what you're talking about. CAFE standards were put into place for ALL cars since 1978. "0" weight oils not only helps with cold starts to reduce engine wear, but they also allow for oil to flow through very small passages for things like variable valve timing (VVTi, VTEC etc.). Also, these oils only act like "0" weight oil upon start up, then they provide protection of 50,40,30,20,16 weight oils, that's what 0W30 means. They are all multigrade oils that provide much better protection for your engine than the oil of 20 years ago. Yes, cars are using lighter weight steel, but overall, the car chassis is much stiffer for improved ride and handling and to allow for the use of full glass moonroofs or convertible models. Bearings are not being made lighter (I laughed out loud at that one!), and piston rings make the seal against the cylinder wall mainly because of the aforementioned oil, it has very little to do with the compression ring tensions. Yes, Toyota did experiment with piston rings that caused oil burning, but these were the oil control rings, not the compression rings that have some tension to them. Any oil vapor that may get by the piston rings that is not burned and ends up in the crankcase, is then caught by the Evap system and sent back to the engine to be reburned. EV's are on their way out. Visit any new car lot, most of the manufacturers can't sell them. ICE engines will be around for a very long time yet. The main reason the newer engines are having issues is that the manufacturers used to do R&D for years before they were put into the vehicle and sold to the consumer. Today, we are the R&D, because R&D is expensive to perform. So, manufacturers only find the problems after unsuspecting consumers find them. Never buy the first year of a vehicle launch, has never been a truer statement. I don't mind that you have your opinion about ICE engines and/or EV's, but when you don't really know how an engine works, then you should not comment and spread false truths out into the world, on a global platform.

Thanks for debunking this clown’s ramblings.

You sound, vaccinated.

zeroW doesn't mean weight

[@EverydayJ1786]

yes it means Winter

Too smart by half

This clown blows his argument when he says drivers are NOT performing routine maintenance. I guarantee His bullet proof vehicle had regular maintenance performed.

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

Yeah, don’t the incompetent manufacturers, blame emissions standards. You are so full of S. My EV doesn’t have the complicated powertrain that causes these problems. Stupid to try and misdirect blame so your precious Toyota bears no responsibility.

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

Don’t waste your time. This guy doesn’t know anything about what he speaks. Just another no nothing spouting his mouth off.
