    Oil Pan Quality

    137 to 204 doesn't seem like a big jump to me, considering id want to do the job once.

    The problems with GDI

    me and my wifes car both have dual injection, never really thought about the intake valves. I do run injector cleaner through them periodically. since they have twice the injectors compared to standard port injected engines.

    Strongest fuel cleaner

    a 1992 pathfinder probably has six leaky injectors that should all be replaced.

    Smart Stop Start - How does it work?

    the battery monitor system, its basically always charging the battery now. the system is designed to adjust the load on the alternator based on the battery charge state.

    Smart Stop Start - How does it work?

    wouldn't surprise me. i put the eliminator in my truck, it just plugs into the back of the button and tells the computer that button has been pressed.

    Range Rover Evoque 2.0, EcoBoost 2012 under valve cover, 160k KM

    looks great for a boosted motor. those 2.0 ecoboost are excellent engines. the 1.5 had the gasket issue the 2.0 hasnt had that problem. I almost never hear of any issues with them. Keep fresh oil in it and it should last a long time.

    Modern Turbo Engine Reliability and Durability

    this horse has been beat to death on bitgo. a N/A engine is less prone to issues just based on statistical analysis. less parts, simpler system. That does not mean a turbo engine cant go 200k+ miles without major failure. Its just statistically has higher chance of having an issue.

    ridiculous consumption of GDI engine oil 110k miles

    sound like a plan to me, it will definitely be better than it is now.

    Cell phone plan marketing and the lesser of two evils

    "greedflation" has it ever occurred that maybe if people didn't purchase a product the price would go down. its almost as if there is to much money chasing to few goods.

    5k or 6k in Ford Cyclones

    I do 5k oil changes. The oil life monitor shows around 30% at that point. typically if I extrapolate out it usually put me around the 7500 mark which is what the empirical formulas show is the correct oil change interval for my vehicle.

    Cell phone plan marketing and the lesser of two evils

    2500 is very impressive, best ive seen is 500, and that was on UW.
