Lexus Turbo Engine Blown at 66,000 Miles? What Happened?

What a crime. To not change the oil on a Lexus or Toyota after 46K should be a crime. They don't deserve a Lexus.

I know people think it’s insane, but my dad is this type of person. Truly believe oil changes and other basic maintenance is a scam. He’s blown the motor on every car he’s ever owned and it still doesn’t sink in.

I would like to see some studies, that show changing full synthetic oil, before 10K miles, actually makes a difference. If the oil and filter are still good, it shouldn't matter. Synthetic oil today is made to last over 10K miles and not break down. I've had dozens of cars in my lifetime and always changed the oil at the max mileage. Never once had an engine issue. I honestly don't know anyone, who ever had an engine blow. Usually the car will have many other issues, before the engine dies.

Now that I finished watching the entire video, I'll comment again. You're an honorable man. You deserve all the good fortunes that come your way. Blessings.

The first owner of this NX is the reason we can’t trust buying used cars.

No oil changes for 46,000 miles? Surprised it lasted that long.

I came to the comments. I have a Lexus. You scared me. It's not lexus fault. So, no worries, this was a great video. I dont fix cars i just like to learn about things. You helped someone like me completely understand. Great vid

AMD is a class act. Need more people like him in the world.

Regardless of your religious outlooks, hearing AMD tell people to do the right thing is what separates him from the other car channels.

Moral of the story: change engine oil in every 5K miles/@6months interval

As a fan of your Chanel I will continue to be a fan of your Chanel. With that being said. You need to tell your fans the truth about all turbo charged engines from all manufacturers not just Lexus or Toyota. Oil burning is a guarantee in all turbo engines and longevity is no longer normal or expected no mater if you change your oil regularly or not. All the viewers should know not to buy turbo charged vehicles no matter what make it is. Do not buy period

Your appeal for honest disclosure was the most precious thing about this whole video, IMO. Also, I enjoyed the whole thing.

You are truly rare individual, unfortunately. Wish there were more people like you in the world.

Retired tech here. It’s always so much fun to tear something that’s broken apart when you know it doesn’t have to go back together. Just to see what happened. Curiosity always helps you learn. 😊

Happens all the time. People drive cars until they explode without changing the oil. Or when they start running bad, they will just trade them in. The advantage of alexis is, it will go a little bit longer under heavy neglect. But a significant percentage of car owners simply don't ever change the oil.

2008 SAAB 9-5 with 135,000 miles. Oil and filter change every 3,000-3,500 miles, with Mobil 1. Transmission oil drain every 20,000 miles. Walmart Mobil 1 5 Quart: $22.97 Wix Oil Filter: $5.00 Pay mechanic to change oil: $25.00 My engine is also turbocharged.

I agree with you 100% that the Lord will give back to you what you give to others. He is patient and will wait until everything in your life is going wrong then He will let you feel it when it hurts the most. Be a good person and do the right thing. Others should not suffer because you are (fill in the blank). Could be a single mom buying the car with very little disposable income.

Ahmed. You are the best Toyota master. Love your channel. May the lord keep you safe for a long time.

It's turbocharged so maintenance is important? I don't care what engine it is maintenance is important. I sold a 2006 Saab 9-3 in 2018 with 195,000 and now the second owner is happy with it now with 270,000 miles. Of course, I change my oil with synthetic every 5000 miles and engines will last a long time. Currently own a 2013 Subaru Legacy with 145,000 miles and expect it to last at least 200,000 miles as well as the transmission is a 5 speed auto with good maintenance. Thank you for taking the extreme time for showing what happens when you don't maintain your engine - very few mechanics on YouTube will do this.

Just another reason why this guy's a good and honest mechanic, because he believes one day he will stand in front of the Lord and give an account on how he lived. God Bless you, brother!
