To be honest guys, I have never cared about cars before in my life. You dudes have legitimately piqued my interest & gotten me to think a little harder about maintaining my own car.
Finally, someone has addressed the issue that Engines do not do mileage, they do revolutions/cycles . Its such a naive common misconception that hardly anyone is bothering to correct. A million mile engine that has been driven daily on long journeys, mostly sat in high gear at low rpm will be in much different condition to an engine that is used infrequently, on short journeys in low gear at high rpm, with the exact, same mileage.
One thing I heard as well, say if two cars, the engine on the one driven mostly cruising on the highway with a higher odometer reading won't automatically be in worse condition than the one driven in stop/start city traffic. As explained, sooooo many variables
It's not really about the engine actually as a mechanic in person it's actually about the person wes ho owns the car or truck and if they actually take care of it
As a Toyota technician of 8 years, I can confirm that the 2UZ-FE V8 is one of the most reliable engines I've seen. They just keep fucking going. Also can confirm that the engines I've seen make it the most miles, did it in a shorter period of time than most, like mentioned in this video. I've seen Prius' go over 300k miles in a few years because Taxi drivers would drive the shit out of them day and night. They seem to be less likely to leak oil as well. I believe the many hot/cold cycles is what really causes engines to wear down faster and seals to start leaking sooner. This is why you usually hear that "highway miles" are much better.
Picked up an 04 highlander over a year ago has the 3.3L v6 in it and I'm at 350k+ on the original engine. I just keep up the maintenance and it runs like a top other than first starting to slip 😂 but still I bought it for $500
@@haseebsheikh7189 They're pretty good. There are tons of mods for the 3UZ if that's the direction you're wanting to go. Stock they push something like 300hp. I'm not a fan of the SC430 I think they're hideous. I'd just look around for a different shell to swap the 3uz to 😂
Vast majority of miles I drive are hyway miles. My '08 Grand Cherokee with the 3.7L V6 has 241k miles. Still going. The body is showing its age (probably due to road salt), but the engine is going well. Just done some relatively minor maintenance here and there. Oil, spark plugs, injectors, etc.
I've seen many 2UZ-FE's with well over 300k on them, with nothing more than regular maintenance done to them. Definitely one of the most reliable gas motors ever.
They also usually have an easier life than many of the small car engines. Little city goers are not designed nor used for long travel, so they have shorter engine cycles than a truck that's going around a construction site hauling stuff all day. A lot of short engine cycles is much more damaging to the components than a few long cycles.
1st-3rd generations, yes, particularly the second generation being the worst offender when it comes to rust and cheap metals just like GM trucks of the 80s-early 2000s. 4th and 5th gen Ram 2500-5500 Cummins, no.

Glad you touched on engine cycles and use cases in this video. Most people just look at pure mileage and think that's the end all and be all of gauging engine reliability. But they totally ignore how the car was actually driven, when in fact use case is probably the most critical factor in the life of an engine. Engine maintenance is also something that plays a huge part. When you see engines with insane amounts of miles on them you're usually dealing with somebody that was meticulous to the extreme about maintaining their vehicle. These are the people that check all of their fluid levels every time they stop to fill up with gas. These are the people that change their oil a thousand miles earlier than recommended just to be safe. These are the people that are proactively maintaining every single thing on their vehicle and not just driving until an idiot light comes on.

Yes, very mispresnted. A real measure of the wear on the engine would be the number of rotations during its life. An engine's work is in rotations not miles.
It would actually be better for maintenance to measure vehicle use in hours. Airplane and boat engines are maintained by tracking hours. It makes a lot more sense. It also gets funny when you realize that by comparing the two maintenance schedules most cars have to the average speed expected in each use, the engine oil change interval is actually about 100 hours, regardless of what type of use the car gets put.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Volvo, considering they have the world record with a P1800 with 3.2 million miles. I had a 1974 Volvo 245, same engine as the P1800, that reached 1 million miles. It was still going strong when I gave it away.
@@johannesdatblue4164 Just a dude driving it very gently for half a century. If I remember right, at 3 million miles Volvo brought it back to the factory and fully restored it. Mine needed a few things replaced when I got it, but nothing that ever required even pulling the head. It had one of those mechanical fuel injector systems, I had to replace most of that. But other than that, yeah, just regular oil changes.
I also gave my car to my sister, who then sold it to a friend’s kid. Now they call me to help troubleshoot any noise or rattle that it makes. Lesson learned.
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra with the 2uz-fe and it has 180,000 miles and is still going strong. Never have needed to do anything to it except for oil changes and one tune up.
how to do 1 million miles: drive tons of highway miles in a dry climate, and don't rev the engine above like 2.5k in wet climates the car falls apart from rust before the engine does.
Ford Australia made a straight 6 cylinder engine in the XD falcon with an iron head (250ci). Sydney taxi's famously used these cars for a long time - an uncountable number were driven over 1,000,000 km before being retired. It's a shame that after watching many videos about cars that are reliable and go the distance, I never hear of these being mentioned. A true legend here in the land of Oz.
Funny that I reply to my own comment, but that engine eventually evolved into the barra 6 - the most competitive and impressive performance engine to come out of the country. Again, it's like the rest of the world simply hasn't acknowledged just how awesome the Australian motor industry was before the Government pulled the plug on it.
You should make a D-list episode of the longest lasting cars (milage), and yeah I only want this so you can talk about the reliability of old redblock volvo tanks :)
yhea this didn't clicked... don't police interceptors actually have a "operating time meter", because I thought that interceptors got retired after amount of run hrs
The owner of that million mile Tundra is close to crossing the million mile mark in his 5.7L V8 too. At least one other person has crossed the million mile mark in the 4.7 since he did it. Considering the half-ton American trucks sell 5-10x the volume of Toyota's Tundra, you'd imagine they'd have way more million mile vehicles. Tons of articles of F150s hitting 300k-500k miles but thats common with the Tundra
Me too man. My VW Jetta TDI has been in the northern USA for its whole life and the engine has 280k miles and it’s still strong but the body is starting to rust almost the entire underbody 😔
I cannot tell you how happy it made me to see the 12 valve get some recognition from donut media: a mostly CAR enthusiast based company. I was hoping I’d see the cummins in this video when I clicked on it

@@akeemsmall2854 I’d love to buy one they’re just so rare to come across nowadays. I feel like people realized how special they are and don’t let them out of the garage now.
@@nutandboltguy3720 if we're talking about the mk4 - galvanized chassis, decent interior, and durable suspension... Still not bad compared to other brands imo. From a reliability perspective it's probably that people rather drive something in which the dome light doesn't turn on and the rubber coating peels from the door handle, because it still gets you home safely, which I think explains their success/good rep on the used car market 🤔
I’ve literally been saying that the 2uz fe is one of the most reliable engines ever and that they are super bulletproof, the only issue I ever had with mine before I sold it was the water pump and that was my fault, forgot to fill it up and it overheated
James' 86 if keeping the 4A-GE isn't an option, I'd go for something like a K20. It keeps the spirit of the car an NA 4 cylinder, they make power super easy and cheap, reliable.
Exactly my response right there. I see plenty 1uzfes and 3uzfes with 300k+ miles on the daily. I personally have a 98 LS400 with 355k miles and a 02 GS430 with 245k. They're trully amazing engines. Both cars see more "cycles" than actual mileage put on them and are still smooth as silk.
Kudos, we bought back a Chrysler minivan taxi with 385000 miles , we ran it on the dynamometer and it made nearly the published torque and power and then we checked the fuel efficiency and again it was nearly perfect. We then tore it apart and it had worn predictably but all the gaskets sealed perfectly as well as piston rings etc. We estimated the engine would easily make a half million miles easily. It was a 3.3L cast iron block, aluminum head OHV V6. But it was a taxi, it got started once a day and ran all day, so fewer cycles ( by the way we in the industry call it duty cycle).
I’d definitely agree on the point about cycles but it also comes down to how the user handles the machine. Where I worked we used Deutz 3-6 cylinder air cooled machines to drive water pumps for borehole testing. These tests would often involve running machines at mid-to-full revs for 24-72 hours continuously, and those engines would usually be serviced every 300 hrs, which worked out to every 1-3 weeks. Despite the workload, environmental conditions and general lack of maintenance these engines had compared to most others, we have many of them that have been running 10+ years, and some even up in the 15-20 years, which comes out at about 50-100k hours on a block. I think the principle of over-designing those engines for that purpose, and how simple the mechanisms on them were, is what allows the, to be so reliable in the long run.
Toyotas are a different breed. my grandad has 02 corolla that hasnt seen an oil change in the past 6 years "because it needs topping up as it burns more of it than the actual fuel". The air filter has NEVER been changed (only hoovered). It has a hair trigger clutch. The car has won the battle against two brick walls. Last time its been washed was 6 years ago. Weve run it on pure spirit for a while as we had run out of fuel once. The current highscore is over 560k miles and the only thing changed was a coil pack because we got tired of the car sound not firing on one cylinder.
Toyota bought back from the owner a Toyota Tundra with a million miles on it, with the original engine & trans. I'd like to see a video about their findings. This was about 2 years ago.
@@mjfdiecast1303 the 7.3 was a joint design of both Ford and International (Navistar)engineers, with the Ford guys having the final say on the PowerStroke versions. Basically Ford made the bigger decisions when it came to the 7.3 PowerStroke
Honestly the Toyota 1UZ, 2UZ, 3UZ engines are great engines overall, once having a 2000 Lexus LS400, that was the best car I ever had. I’m a highway driver mainly because I travel, and I always try to drive at least 10 miles at speeds above 45 miles an hour to warm up my cars, and living next to the interstate which is the main road is a perk at 55 MPH. Almost all my cars I’ve owned are highway cars that had slightly higher miles and were impeccably maintained. Those are the best cars to get as it’s overall less worn than a city car. And that goes for every component, seals, suspension, and especially the transmission. I’m glad someone took the time to explain this. I also try to buy cars that don’t have too small of an engine that’s powering it, like most of these modern throwaway cars. A 4 cylinder engine in a 4000 pound SUV is not gonna last as long as it’s V6 counterpart because of the extra strain of having to pull all that weight per mile with significantly less torque and power, a contribution that I believe also effects engine life. Don’t even get me started about small displacement turbocharged engines. Ughhh! Well done on the video!

I'm surprised you didn't mention Volvo, considering they have the world record with a P1800 with 3.2 million miles. I had a 1974 Volvo 245, same engine as the P1800, that reached 1 million miles. It was still going strong when I gave it away.

Forgot to add: did he never turned of his engine? Fly by oil and belt changes? 😂
@@johannesdatblue4164 Just a dude driving it very gently for half a century. If I remember right, at 3 million miles Volvo brought it back to the factory and fully restored it. Mine needed a few things replaced when I got it, but nothing that ever required even pulling the head. It had one of those mechanical fuel injector systems, I had to replace most of that. But other than that, yeah, just regular oil changes.

drive tons of highway miles in a dry climate, and don't rev the engine above like 2.5k

Ford Australia made a straight 6 cylinder engine in the XD falcon with an iron head (250ci). Sydney taxi's famously used these cars for a long time - an uncountable number were driven over 1,000,000 km before being retired. It's a shame that after watching many videos about cars that are reliable and go the distance, I never hear of these being mentioned.
A true legend here in the land of Oz.
Funny that I reply to my own comment, but that engine eventually evolved into the barra 6 - the most competitive and impressive performance engine to come out of the country. Again, it's like the rest of the world simply hasn't acknowledged just how awesome the Australian motor industry was before the Government pulled the plug on it.

Like for 919 Hybrid Evo, Reply for TS050
Kudos, we bought back a Chrysler minivan taxi with 385000 miles , we ran it on the dynamometer and it made nearly the published torque and power and then we checked the fuel efficiency and again it was nearly perfect. We then tore it apart and it had worn predictably but all the gaskets sealed perfectly as well as piston rings etc. We estimated the engine would easily make a half million miles easily. It was a 3.3L cast iron block, aluminum head OHV V6. But it was a taxi, it got started once a day and ran all day, so fewer cycles ( by the way we in the industry call it duty cycle).
Letting the engine get up to temperature before ripping it and keeping up with your fluids is the least work you have to do to keep it in good health

I’d definitely agree on the point about cycles but it also comes down to how the user handles the machine.
Where I worked we used Deutz 3-6 cylinder air cooled machines to drive water pumps for borehole testing. These tests would often involve running machines at mid-to-full revs for 24-72 hours continuously, and those engines would usually be serviced every 300 hrs, which worked out to every 1-3 weeks. Despite the workload, environmental conditions and general lack of maintenance these engines had compared to most others, we have many of them that have been running 10+ years, and some even up in the 15-20 years, which comes out at about 50-100k hours on a block. I think the principle of over-designing those engines for that purpose, and how simple the mechanisms on them were, is what allows the, to be so reliable in the long run.

Are we ever gonna hear this “my sister stole my truck” story? This is the second reference I’ve heard of it!
Toyotas are a different breed. my grandad has 02 corolla that hasnt seen an oil change in the past 6 years "because it needs topping up as it burns more of it than the actual fuel". The air filter has NEVER been changed (only hoovered). It has a hair trigger clutch. The car has won the battle against two brick walls. Last time its been washed was 6 years ago. Weve run it on pure spirit for a while as we had run out of fuel once. The current highscore is over 560k miles and the only thing changed was a coil pack because we got tired of the car sound not firing on one cylinder.
Reliable engine:
- strong parts
- simple engineering

I got one on my property with just shy of 1,000,000
Man that’s a whole lot of hills it must’ve rolled down to get the that many miles! What was the tow vehicle??
What about the Volvo 200 Series Engines? Those things seem bulletproof!
Honestly the Toyota 1UZ, 2UZ, 3UZ engines are great engines overall, once having a 2000 Lexus LS400, that was the best car I ever had. I’m a highway driver mainly because I travel, and I always try to drive at least 10 miles at speeds above 45 miles an hour to warm up my cars, and living next to the interstate which is the main road is a perk at 55 MPH. Almost all my cars I’ve owned are highway cars that had slightly higher miles and were impeccably maintained. Those are the best cars to get as it’s overall less worn than a city car. And that goes for every component, seals, suspension, and especially the transmission. I’m glad someone took the time to explain this.
I also try to buy cars that don’t have too small of an engine that’s powering it, like most of these modern throwaway cars. A 4 cylinder engine in a 4000 pound SUV is not gonna last as long as it’s V6 counterpart because of the extra strain of having to pull all that weight per mile with significantly less torque and power, a contribution that I believe also effects engine life. Don’t even get me started about small displacement turbocharged engines. Ughhh!
Well done on the video!
Well my BMW has more than "100000" miles, so I guess it's a million mile BMW according to Donut lol
