Interesting that you say turbo engines don’t last as long. That’s always been my assumption but I’ve been corrected several times by posters who claim equal durability if given regular oil changes.

They can. They do. But, like anything else, it just depends on parts and build quality. Would a high-strung European turbo engine be as reliable as an underpowered NA ‘yota? Not likely.
Longevity of the engine won’t depend on adding extra injectors, though. Valves getting dirty isn’t going to make the engine suddenly explode. You’d start losing power and eventually get some misfire codes. You clean the valves and keep going.

After putting up with that wingnut for far too long, I finally replied, "If I was faced with the prospect of driving the same car-in particular a soul-slaughtering anodyne appliance-for 400K miles I would just cut to the chase and jump off a very tall building. "

Here's a million mile Crown Vic.
It did probably also needed battery replacement.

Just put it into gear and it would return to the dust from whence it came.

Or I could have a sense of humor and badge it as a Gran Torino or Diplomat or Cressida etc.

I debadged my 535is, that confused a lot of green peas. If I get an M2C I might rebadge it as a 218d.

OK so the Solomon curve is no longer relevant because it is old data🤦♂️
Did you eat extreme low IQ making food?
The speed differentials have to be during the same time period at the same place. Traffic in the vicinity of one another.

Then there’s when the manufacturer throws you a curve. Kia sent me a letter saying they consider ALL driving done by Americans to be “severe” conditions and to change every 3750 miles.
And don’t forget the few who say “why should I change my oil? It came with some when I bought it.” Lots of YouTube videos on that.

I appreciate the Honda/Acura system that keeps track of how you drive, temperatures, mileage, time, etc, and then just tells you that your oil life is at 40% or whatever. My dealer uses full synthetic, which isn't required, and so I feel okay driving it right till when it says 15% or even 5%, which is usually after about 8000 miles or so.
PS Just looked, and I'm down to 20% on my oil life now on the Acura, and I've already driven 8500 miles since my last oil change in April. Looks like I'll make it to 9000 before the next oil change. That's a lot of miles, but I trust Acura to know what they are doing. And as mentioned it's changed with full synthetic oil.
No, I’ve not had any Andres platters to eat
Whaaa?? I’d ask them what driving they consider normal, in that case. I would think much of the driving in the US to be rather tame. Maybe they think we all live in NYC and Alaska.

The cargo van lights up around 5k miles driven but it took over 3 years to reach that so no time trigger. 10w-30 conventional.
I change the Kia at 5k miles with full synthetic and since the Kia phone representative was clueless as to whether that meant conventional or synthetic I just do it my way. 5w-20.
The Sebring is too old for fancy oil minders so I change it every two years which is under 3k miles. 10w-30 conventional.

Define "high-strung?" The adjective we heard when the oil companies started pushing the 3K interval was "high-revving" but the European turbos (and most of the new generation of low-boost turbos) now are tuned to put the torque peak down in the 1500-2000 rpm range, reminiscent of old-school American V8s.
My data point of one turbo car is that I was at 192K on my Volvo, and the only engine issue was that I was about to need the PCV service for the 2nd time. Depending on how antsy/"chronic" I get, the idea with my next vehicle purchase is most likely going to be a return to turbo power.
Yesterday at Toyota, was amazed at the lack of inventory to be honest. Most vehicles were in for service work and on that front, they are making a killing! I for one, will not pay an admin fee for any vehicle, I'll just wait until supply ramps up to normal levels. Just wondering if things will ever go back to the way they were pre-pandemic and think they will. It's still economics, pure & simple...supply & demand. Things will get better in time, we just need to be patient awhile longer.

Replaced the drive belt on the Prius and a clamp on the air intake I had to remove to get better access. Any bets on whether the belt was original to the car? I spun both the tensioner and the water pump while it was off and they both felt fine.
Well, if I have to put a number on it, I guess I’d say, conservatively, breaking the 125hp/L mark is when you get into what I would consider more extreme stresses on engine components.

I am still using the original drive belt on my Q7 at nearly 120,000 miles, but I condition it each year when I do maintenance, so that tends to extend its life by quite a few miles/years.
