So far the engine design has been very reliable on the whole. It has been in production for six years now and every year there are more and more models which feature it as the base/sole engine option. There have been some issues which have been corrected. The only known concern to really be aware of is fuel dilution. But the dilution issues have not manifested into any kind of wide spread problems as of yet. Other than it just is.Then again, after reading all of that info, then falling asleep (sorry), only to have the dog wake me up and point out where the snoring began, only to fall asleep again to find the cat marking where I had left off……..
……I found myself immersed about 85% of the way into the section under “Experience.”
And if I read that entire section correctly, in between scratching the cat’s ears and rubbing the dog’s belly, I have deduced that motor oil is one of the least concerns
of that engine!
I would not be concerned about this engine at all.
