According to Honda, 2019+ models have the issue mitigated, but not fixed. By the way, oil dilution is a product of direct injection, not some brand-new issue that Honda created and is responsible for. This is just their first try at DI engines, and they miscalibrated a few things.Hereās a description I found of the two available CVT engines. 2016 Civic Sedan is a 1.5-liter direct-injected and turbocharged 16-valve inline-4, mated to a CVT ā the first turboād engine on a U.S. Honda model. It will be available in EX-T, EX-L trims and Touring trims. I have owned two turbocharged cars a 1983 Ford Turbo-coupe, Thunderbird and a 2011 Chevy Cruze. The t-birdās turbo lasted 275,000 miles. I followed the manufacturer maintenance manual exactly. I changed oil every 7500 miles. This was two or three times a year in the 14 years I owned the car. This I believe was critical to its long life. What is the difference between Honda 1.5 T and 2.0 T? Hondaās 1.5-liter turbo I4 is still the base engine option, putting out 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. A more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four is available with Sport and Touring models, bringing a healthy 252 hp and 273 lb-ft to the party. by jake1 Ā» Mon Oct 31, 2016 11:10 pm. Hi, I'm new here and could use some help. I have a chance to buy a 2010 Ford Flex Limited with EcoBoost for a good price, but it has about 100,000 miles on it. I read on the Ford Flex wikipedia: "According to Ford, the turbochargers in the engine are designed to last 150,000 miles (240,000 km) or 10 years."
The Acura TLX is a reliable, durable vehicle that can last 250,000 to 300,000 miles on average. Based on an annual mileage of 15,000 miles, TLX owners can expect 17 ā 20 years of service before requiring uneconomical repairs. This is dependant on conservative driving habits and proper maintenance.
For most people the turbos probably don't affect as most people don't keep there cars long enough to have it die but i do. My buddy says that little 1.5L gas engines with a turbo will never last 300k-400k as it's a small motor with added stress from the turbo and naturally aspirated engine is the way to go for longevity and no repair bills. Having built the bottom end of an L15B7 engine (the one in the Si and CRV), the tolerances are super close. Best to use the oil the engine was designed around, in this case 0W-20. 500 miles a week is a good amount, but I believe the oil dilution is less severe the longer your commute is.It is not to say that 1.5L isnāt reliable, itās reliable assuming you resolved the oil dilution issue. But it isnāt as reliable as the 2.0L. The 2.0L uses port injectors so the valves are always cleaned with gas whereas 1.5L is direct injection which carbon build up is inevitable. Therefore another win on longevity for the 2.0L.
We find this engine option a little weird for the Civic because you may get the 2-liter non-turbo option cheaper and only lose 22 horsepower but get 50K miles more of life expectancy. We wouldn't consider the 1.5L turbo engine even though it's not the worst small turbocharged powerplant in the world. Nff7.
