    2018 Equinox LS engine life

    I see a 2018 Equinox LS with 130000 miles for sale. What would the expected life of the 1.5 liter turbo engine be? Will the turbo go out soon. Would the direct injection have caused clogged valves by now. Thanks

    Infinit FX35

    Whats the opinion of the FX35 suv? I'm looking at an 09 with a no start condition and 198000 miles. Its the Nissan 3.5 V6. Seller says the mechanic says it's a timing issue? Would it be worth buying for $2500? Is the engine an interference engine? Thanks

    2011 ecotecĥ 2.4 oil gallery cleaning

    I should add that I'm looking at buying a 2011 Equinox that the seller says rattles a lot on cold start up. From what I've read that's common and is caused by a clogged oil port that carries oil up to the head and the camshafts. I was wondering if I could maybe remove the valve cover and run...
