Engine Wear Metals After 16 Track Days
Просмотров 22 тыс.Месяц назад
My MX5 has now done a total of 2,105 miles on track with 595 of those miles since the last oil change. Is this type of use causing excessive wear to my engine? I sent the oil off to a laboratory to find out what wear metals are present in the engine oil and how the oil has been holding up to this kind of use. 00:00 The car 00:41 The kit 01:56 The oil 03:33 The analysis 10:33 The conclusion

    i own a usdm '21 turbo and, despite being absolutely in love with the thing, i can report that the radar has told me to "BRAKE!" inappropriately twice. however, that's only happen at one specific bit of awkward road. i've noticed that the reverse camera's "someone's behind you" detector has been a bit overzealous, so (considering the spot where it told me to brake) that aspect of the software seems to be what caused the warnings. only checked this video out to see what the rhd versions were like, but you're a fantastically thorough reviewer! great to see someone who appreciates cars not trashing a hybrid system

    23:10 This is literally not the car's fault. The fact that you have to downshift to get torque ENCOURAGES or even FORCES you to play with the transmission, and playing with the transmission on any MX5 is a wonderful experience. Short throws, light flywheel, snappy gears. Little dopamine hits each time I put the clutch down and rev the engine for a downshift makes even my daily commute to work a wonderful experience.

    I live in Colorado in the US, the city I live is slightly more than 1 mile elevation, I drive it through the canyons - haven't noticed any additional power loss yet, steep climbs obviously the car has to work harder...but that's normal. Seeing this does make me wonder what I might be missing with the car at low altitudes! Time to plan a long road trip! Great video! Regarding fuel efficiency, I just got 49.3 mpg US on a 48 mile trip, driving 40-65 MPH (45 mph average), very pleased with that.

    A very good review. I have a 2017 FR 150 ACT. Purchased nearly new, only 4000 miles on the clock and under a year old. I have never had an issue with the car in over 6 years of ownership. Not even a bulb. It's been serviced every year without fail, and has been superb. One of the best hatchbacks of its time. Mine has only 33,000 miles from new. £35 pounds road tax per year, and can achieve over 60 mpg. Cheap to insure,and has a top speed of 134 mph. An excellent car by all means. I will be holding on to it for a while yet.
