[Remorseless]

No I know the contents. Obviously better than you. kramer as usual has no idea what he's talking about.

Well then can you clarify which of the contents you consider to be major issues that OP would inherit?

At your service. My other titles are clown, troll, and one who likes to poke the bear. FYI "a lot" is two words.

Yea clearly a forum filled with tuning, asking if premium is necessary, an axle leak and people worried that the turbo engine isnt reliable is really a great boon to your side here.

So... just to leave this here and to bug my forced induction friends...

My 3.6 has close to 90k miles on it, and I have had no issues with the engine itself as of yet. My only major problem was electrical, and that was fixed by a new high amp fuse assembly.

I don't change my oil until the computer tells me to (and that can go up to 10k miles somtimes) and I have not noticed any metal shavings when I do it myself.

Damnit Sean, I was just starting to forgive you for existing and you go and say something like that.

That actually doesn't bug me. Mine in the JK had 100k on it, with only the cam phasers having gone, and a ground that loosened up causing me to replace the oil pump solenoid. That job sucked.

He also only does 4 tire rotations, which that does bug me. I SOLD YOU A PERFECTLY GOOD SPARE SEAN, GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF IT!

Wait… What ??….

Wait… What ??

Right?

It's like for like. Overheating causing head warpage and thus failure is the same whether it's due to coolant loss from an external bolt (2.0) or from a head and gasket that don't seal well (3.6).

Cool, so trading 3.6l problems for 2.0l problems like I said.

Well I also don't go for cheap oil either. Full synthetic. I figure if the computer is keeping track of how hard I drive it can go for longer than 3000 miles.

Now I did 5k oil changes in my Ram and Dakota regardless of computer.

Who doesn't use full synthetic? You mean there are people on here that don't?
