    THE most reliable engine ever built?

    I would have to put in my vote for the old dodge slant 6. I drove a ford escort with the 1.8 mazda I4 engine for over 200K frequently towing motorcycle trailers with it - never had any problems. The most impressive engine I've seen lately would have to be a BMW. A buddy of mine has been...

    I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra V8 4x4, I have over 170K with no mechanical problems and no noticeable oil consumption. I have always used Mobil1 10w30, or 15w50 depending on weather, and how heavy a trailer I am towing. I change it about every 5-10K as time permits, I also use mobil1 ATF, and gear...
