Wet belt engines

[Kira]

when I went down the rabbit hole of wet belts and associated failures, it was usually wrong spec oils used and/or extended oil change intervals with most of the failures from Europe market models that do extend OCI's as a norm.

Interesting enough.

While folks make claims of wet belt designs being the next best thing since the iPad, Toyota has engineered exactly zero wet belt engines. In fact, the notoriously unreliable brands seem to love them. I wonder why that is.
