Were you watching the old mechanic that yells a lot on YouTube? Most of his videos are just click bait
Probably so he is a Toyota fan and has a few videos about turbos and small engines with them not lasting do to the added stress.

No. It’s a 2.4 liter turbo gasoline engine and the car is in my signature.
So, your call, bud.
Live in fear because of some clown on YouTube.
or buy a car.
He’s a mechanic who works in his yard…so…not really a professional…he’s actually a YouTube personality.Probably so he is a Toyota fan and has a few videos about turbos and small engines with them not lasting do to the added stress.
Sounds like Scotty Kilmer...what a tool.He’s a mechanic who works in his yard…so…not really a professional…he’s actually a YouTube personality.
Loud-mouthed, obnoxious, opinionated, with little experience to back any of it up. His cheesy burn-out opening tells you all you need to know.
You should view him as entertainment, not expertise.
What kind of Toyota? Either way almost any 2010 Toyota is going to be a high standard to hold to and I don't think most new cars are going to be capable of 399k miles without major repairs.I am in need of a new car as I have reached 295k trouble free miles it seems like most car brands selling sedans use small 1.5L motors with a turbo there are a few that don't but that limits my options. I watch a mechanic on youtube and he claims that any gas car/truck with a small motor and a turbo will never last as long as a larger motor with no turbo as the smaller motor has to work that much harder.
Just wondering your thoughts as i have been very lucky with my 2010 toyota.
How often do they put 300k miles on them? I'm under the impression that based on fuel cost and local government, keeping older vehicles is just not very common there, unlike here in north america.100% false information. Euro have been using small displacement engines with turbo for decades with few issues.
I wonder if Volvo borrowed turbo technology from their big truck engines?The turbo in my '86 Volvo 740 Turbo was still fine at 285,000 Km (178,000 miles). And '86 was the last year Volvo turbos were oil cooled only. The '87s and newer also had water cooling.
I changed the oil a lot, never spooled it up when cold (until the temp gauge was at least off the pin), and let it wind down for a few minutes after driving hard.

No doubt Volvo had a lot of experience with making (or specifying) turbos that would last.I wonder if Volvo borrowed turbo technology from their big truck engines?
But turbos are only one piece of the puzzle. Lots of reasons for newer cars to end up in the junkyard prematurely, some of them lack of maintenance, some of them poor design and parts cost.
He's not exactly a reliable source. He was a pro mechanic when they were in their infancy new seems to fix old beaters in his driveway. Comparing a small turbo motor to a 90s Toyota/Honda? Maybe has a point. Compare and Ecoboost to a 3v Triton and they are about equally as bad.Probably so he is a Toyota fan and has a few videos about turbos and small engines with them not lasting do to the added stress.
I’ve been a mechanic for 50 years. lolhe's been a mechanic for 50 years. lol
And he's still an annoying imbecile.he's been a mechanic for 50 years. lol
So has everyone's uncle, neighbor, or friend but no ASE Cert, with retraining on new tech to back it up. He's an idiot....plain & simple and you'll excuse me for saying that anyone who follows him is one as well.he's been a mechanic for 50 years. lol
Yes, somewhere a village is definitely missing its idiot.So has everyone's uncle, neighbor, or friend but no ASE Cert, with retraining on new tech to back it up. He's an idiot....plain & simple and you'll excuse me for saying that anyone who follows him is one as well.
I don't care. I wouldn't let that dude oil my bicycle chain.he's been a mechanic for 50 years. lol
My wife and I test drove a CRV with the 1.5 turbo, and it just happened to be in middle of summer and the outside temp was like 90. We immediately jumped on a highway on ramp, and I had to floor it just to get going at all...what a dog!Don’t know about lasting longer, however a friends wife just bought a 2023 Honda CR-V with a 1.5 turbo engine. Says it is GUTLESS.
(No Snap). Their older Accord 4 cylinder had more power (snap).
The only way to completely eliminate lag is by using a boost system that keeps the primary turbo on boost all the time. This is exactly what Mazda's Skyactive system does...The statement of lag still existing is correct, even with low RPM boost onset. There really is no way around it with an exhaust driven supercharger. Even so, turbocharged engines tend to be quite pleasant to drive, as once on boost, they don't often require high RPM for typical needs. In other words, it's much more pleasant to drive up a long interstate hill or to achieve more than adequate part-throttle acceleration.
