The last segment pretty much sheds light on one reason auto makers omitted the 100K digit wheel. 90% of cars would go to their grave with that digit still on zero. You know the old saying: They don't make things like they used to? Well, this episode explains one reason for glad they don't make em like they used to!
@@jimbeckert7946 I've seen it happen with new Chevy and Toyota burning excessive oil at 80k even though they were meticulously maintained. I'm sure it happens with others.
@@michaelannen4168 What's "meticulously maintained"? Oil changes at 10k miles like the owner's manual says? LMFAO. I own a 2016 GM LS motor. 80k miles. Not only does it not burn "excessive oil", it doesn't burn any oil at all. I check the oil frequently and I've never needed to add a drop. I drove a 1998 Ford Modular for 300k miles and I'd occasionally add a half quart between oil changes. The only issue that motor had was a blown head gasket after 200k miles.
@@jimbeckert7946 and that's good for you. So that means everyone else is just like you? My friend bought a new 2017 Chevy 4 cyl. for his wife, wth extended warranty, had the dealer do all service on time and at 70k was burning over a guart per 1000 miles. They sealed the drain plug and tested it and said it was normal. He wrote GM several letters to complain and after much hassle GM agreed to split the cost of a new engine at $14k? Something like that. He sold the car to Carmax and won't by another GM.

Thanks for watchin'. I appreciate it.
Anyone who doesn't already know this shouldn't have a driver's license..
I agree with you, however, I constantly see it happen. Thanks for watchin'.
Great information!
Thanks for watchin'. I appreciate it.
Except today's modern engines with low tension piston rings last 80k miles
I do think vehicle quality has been dropping since the late 2000's early 20teens. Thanks for watchin'.
Wrong.
