The Car Care Nut

Comments by "volvo09" (@volvo09) on "Toyota Drops v6 Going 4 Cylinder Turbo | Everything You Need to Know about the New Engine" video.
If you take care of your car turbos are perfectly fine. Most of the f150's on the road are turbo'd, they aren't going through engines and turbos like water. When you don't take care of your vehicle and run 10-20k miles on an oil change (to the point where it starts coking up) that's when you have problems.

@bernardaflores1720 yep, because the car is taken care of. When I worked at Volvo we actually had to replace a pair of turbos at 34k miles (yes, that low) because the car never had a single oil change. The engine was completely sludged up. (It was a cheap auction car that smoked). Turbo failures were very very rare. I only saw a few in the 2 years I worked there. I strongly believe people overblow the "lack of reliability" with turbos. Yes they are more complex I won't argue that, it absolutely adds to repair times and maintenance work... but they're not super unreliable. I noticed my f150 has a coolant pump that runs for a few minutes after the engine shuts off to cool the turbo, if the Ford has it, i'm sure it's pretty common. The real thing people should be worried about will be the availability of computer modules that these new cars run on and rely on. That fancy digital dash or touchscreen radio is going to fail a lot more often and a lot earlier than a turbo.
