Not really. Those maximum pressures are transient at very high revs / peak power which happen occasionally. Reducing the risk of pre-ignition and detergents work at a all revs and all the time.

Agree on the first two (as in the opposite) but 10k mile oil changes are just fine with modern engines and oils. 20k is pushing it mind you.

My point was hybrids turn on and off the engine far more than S/S systems such as on the Mustang. S/S obviously only happens when stopped moving but hybrids do it all the time. In a 50 mile journey a hybrid may turn the engine on and off 50 times or more. If the engine wear was an issue on...

Not sure what your point is?

McLaren cars nothing to do with the old race team Non-UK owners now but still made and designed in the UK

Why put cheap fuel in a performance car? There is more to it than octane as well (certainly here in the UK) where premium fuels have more detergents etc. Price difference varies enormously too between premium and standard fuels. Your fuel is so cheap anyway! You will pay more in depreciation...

You have already had posts removed by the mods. The next step is more drastic. Calm down.

No, they can drive under electric power alone. Mild hybrid (MHEV) - ISG 48v system, limited movement under electric power but engine off when slowing / stopped and electric motor provides a torque fill effect. 5 to 10 mpg improvement over standard petrol. Full hybrid - (FHEV) small HV battery...

Erm we have made cars since the 1970's you know! Let's just pop Lotus, McLaren, Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls Royce to name but a few inferior products :wink:

Ecoboosts can be wet belt or chain, later ISG equipped ones are chain. Wet belt, dry belt, chain - in all cases it is very easy to find engines that are let down by all of these.

Triples have a belt driven oil pump

I realise that but the new Prius is a pretty good looking car and reasonably quick too. I'd rather drive.

I think some early Job2 cars didn't have it either and then there was a break in production for a while with S/S Coyotes the limiting factor (not sure whether the engine or transmission)

I think there was a fault in some of the early S650 S/S systems that were subject to recall.

Complete and utter rubbish - totally different technology, design and engineering.

I think your local optician stays open late on Friday night, best you pay a visit :giggle:

Original S/S and full hybrid are worlds apart from an engineering point of view

Not surprised they are pretty impressive cars now - quick too :wink:

Well tiny turbocharged engines are just as tough as great big V8's it seems. CVT's - well Ford don't use them as such just eCVT's which are very different and incredibly reliable. Yearly oil changes? That is more frequent than most intervals now and mileage is more important than time with...

Now you are drifting :giggle:
