Man that goes for everything made today if you have something good you better hang on to it because whatever the product is the good ones are few and far between
I had an all original 88 towncar with the 5.0 engine, with 436,000 miles on it, it burned no oil, still burned rubber for a block and a half when i sold it 17 years ago. Its probably still running to this day! Miss that car!
I’m a retired 30 year Volvo service advisor. I totally expected the B230 to come out on top. As long as you keep the oil both full and changed, and prevent it from overheating I’ve seen these reach 1,000,000 + miles. (1,300.000 + still going to be exact). My question is this: are any of these engines still in use by their manufacturers? I grew up on a slant six and stupidly traded the car. I owned a Datsun 810 with a 240 Z engine that was a close runner-up.. Ugly car that ran like a scalded rabbit…. My preference in engines are straight sixes and high power for cylinders. I currently own a 2009 Volvo S60 SE that has a straight five cylinder (See the compromise between 4 and 6?). Obviously I know how to maintain it, and it runs today just like it did when new… the only concern I have with it is the fact that it has a turbo charger.. kind of the week link. I much prefer superchargers over turbos .. they’re much more durable . The car I traded when I got this car was a 2007 Subaru Forrester premium also with a turbo. Subaru flat four is another excellent engine. Some years are stronger than others so do you research if you’re going after one of these. (regarding cars that I’ve owned in the past I also had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova with a small block 350 V8… The only lapse that I’ve had in cars that I bought was when my dad forced me to buy a 1973 Vega (Road and Tracks car of the year that year) biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen (silicone cylinder liners.. really?)
Back in the early 60s, we were taking 327 Chevy blocks and putting 283 cranks in them, it gave us a 4.00in. bore and the crank gave us a 3.00 stroke, bringing it out to a 301 engine that would haul Gluteus Maximus! 1967 GM saw what we were doing and they created the Z/28, which had a 302 sbc, no difference than ours except GM had more money and they were putting 12.5 to1 pistons in them, they hit RPMs like a 2 stroke engine! That was the good ole days. I want to say you've just got a new subber, I really like your show. Thanks for sharing.
The only reason GM modified the 327 creating the 302 engine for the 67-69 Z28 was to comply with the 302 capacity class limit set by Trans AM racing in the 1966 its the same reason Ford ran a 302 and AMC ran a 290. They would have run the 327 if they could have as they switched to the 350 in 1970. Its also why Dodge didn't run the Challenger until 1970 with its 340 T/A.
Isn't a 350ci chev the same block as the 327 ci , with a shorter stroke 🤔? So Chuck a 283 crank in a 350 block with decompression plate and turbo it. From memory the small block 350 had 4.00" bore centers. 327s were more revy than 350.
Did you notice one thing about most of these engines? Most of them were produced and used before the early 2000's. What happened? More stringent government emissions and fuel economy regulations. Now we are saddled with carbon buildup problems in DI engines, head gasket issues in low pressure small displacement turbos, CVT transmissions, multi speed transmissions, exploding Hyundai and Kia engines made to save weight, expensive failures of electronic controls, etc. Are any modern (post 2005) electronic controlled, turbocharged, CVT transmissioned vehicles on this list?
They started building everything to be throw away by the mid 2000's. I tried to fully rebuild a 2012 Ram 2500 several years back. The electrical systems are a show stopper. I've started rebuilding vehicles that are pre-computer instead.
As a retired Volvo tech with over 50+ years of experience on the brand, the B230 isn't anywhere near the engine the earlier models were. The pushrod B18 and B20 were much tougher but my favorites are the B21and B23. They still had the big crank and rods whereas the B230's internals were downsized to save weight and friction. In my long career with Volvo the B230 is the only one I ever saw throw a rod through the side of the block.
@@uncomfortabletruth8976 The B230 is (almost) as reliable as the B18 and B20 stated above, the problems with weaker internals were adressed as of MY1988 i believe and after that there were even less problems, I have owned 3, one NA with 440k km and two turbos with 330k km. To answer your question though the B18 and B20 can be found in almost any 60's to late 70's volvo. Amazon, P1800, PV, 140 series and early 240 for example
I knew a guy with 424,000 commuting miles on his. He had one used engine and one used transmission installed a few years apart. Water got on the floor and popped the passenger side airbag while he was driving down the road. When he brought it to the shop, I started it up to pull it out and I tugged the emergency brake cable under the car while I rocked it back and forth by the rear wheel. At that point the drivers side Airbag popped, with nobody in the car.
I know. I am saving my 1996 junked Olds 88 sitting in my yard because it still has its 3800 ii. I may need it someday to put into my current ride, a '98 LeSabre that has its own 3800 ii engine.
The Ford 4.6L V-8 is an anvil! They frequently go 300-500k miles, and deliver 20mpg in full size sedans i.e. Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Cars. Excellent engine!
They also put those in Ford trucks. We had a 2000 Expedition and gave it to our daughter. It has 295K now and runs like a top. Vehicle looks like shit though lol.
The 4.6 iron block V-8 in my 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis has 260,000 on the clock. I've always done oil changes with synthetic every 5,000 and it runs as new. It doesn't burn oil, starts instantly and still gets great mileage. Unfortunately, rust is taking out the body.
I am a huge fan of the 4.6 l as well. In my current f150 Get this, a loaded f150 that time and again gets 22 and 23 mpg ,, in city 18 and 19 . I have had tanks as high as 35 to the gallon (wind was helping) And several hundred miles across Arizona and New Mexico warmed up, no wind, perfect, 26 to the gallon. 140,000 on this engine, no oil consumption between changes.
@@PlymouthVTI sadly had to scrap my 2000 Grand Marquis because of the plastic intake manifold breaking, as well as an electrical short in the ignition which caused it to stall randomly when in the run position on the ignition switch. Couldn't afford to fix it. Damn shame.
@@PlymouthVT I partially agree about the plastic intake. I replaced mine with an aftermarket Dorman (?) Improved mileage 2 or 3 mpg,, but it makes me nervous torquing down an intake to single digit inch pounds,, then a second round of tightening to 20 or 30 something inch pounds,,, Inch pounds,, Holy Wah !
I am the original owner of a 89 jeep 4.0, it has over 400k miles for sure because, my speedometer went bad at 305k miles around 16yrs back, it still runs good same engine and tranny, I did all my maintenance, its my home on wheels at present at an age of 77.
*The Oldsmobile, the Buick engines came off of the Oldsmobile engine line and were put in the Buicks. It's true I know a guy in Flint that worked in the Oldsmobile side and watched them do it!
I had a '72 455 SD motor out of a Grand Prix. Dropped it a '78 Trans Am. Here in Oklahoma, 1979 and newer had to pass emissions test. That car had a Borg Warner Supur T-10 transmission and a 373 rear gear. It would out run everything but a gas pump. That motor had 100k miles when I dropped it in. I drove it another 180k and sold the car. Wish I hadn't.
Back in the day I had a slant-six in my Plymouth "Duster." It was unbreakable; still running strong while the rest of the car fell apart. (we nicknamed it "the ruster")
I had slant 6 in 74 Duster you are correct motor was still strong and the car falling apart had torsion bars welded sold it for 50 bucks somewhere around 1980 and I used to see it driving around town for another 3 years
@@mikep1489 I .cannot fault the Duster. This was in the 90's so it was quite old. From buy-here-pay-here lot, sagged to one side. Haha. Those were the days!
I had a 74 Plymouth Valiant with the slant six, I found it to be fairly strong until it through a rod coming home from a VA appointment many miles from home. I limped it to my mechanic (about 60 miles) he said that it would cost too much to fix it and advised that I get another one to put under the hood. I kind of liked that car, it got me through my broke days in college.
I worked in a junkyard in 1981. We'd buy junk cars for $35 if they were complete. A guy drove in a 1967 Chevy Impala with stock 283 wanting to sell it. We offered $35. He said "I'll blow the engine up before I sell it for $35. We said " Go ahead. We'll still give you $35 for it. He held the pedal to the floor for what seemed like 5 minutes. That motor got up to about 5500 RPM and just steady screamed. It never did blow. We bought the car for $35, put a bigger cam and valve springs and ran 2 summers in a 55 Chevy stock car before the motor ever wore out. True Story. It still ran in the end but it smoked.
My dad would always tell me the same thing about a 283 Chevy - you could hold the throttle to the floor as long as you wanted and it wouldn’t blow up! Those were some screamers with decent heads, intake and cam! Add some compression too and they would rev to the moon!
Reason was UNDER carbureted and RESTRICTIVE exhaust. I had a 225 Slant Six Dodge the same way. Hold it on the floor in Granny Low and go as long as you wanted to. Tiny Carburetor and Exhaust.
@@Joe-em3iw I had a buddy, around our senior yr in high school, with an 88 monte carlo ss and his dad had a built 400 small block, his dad told him if the 305 in the monte ever died he could put the 400 in it so one night he held it to the floor till it just completely stalled, took forever and sounded terrible right before it died. I figured it probly cracked a head or blew a head gasket, melted pistons or melted bearings and locked the bottom end and he just knew he was getting that 400 but the next day when it had cooled down she fired right up like nothing ever happened. He had a new respect for that little 5 liter after that.
I can vouch for the ford 300 straight 6. I had one in a 85 E350 work van. It always had at least 750 lbs of gear in it. 280k miles, still ran but I changed jobs and had to give her up.
I was never a hard core Ford guy but i gotta tip my had to this beefy mill. We had em in our delivery trucks in the 80s- early 90s. Simple carb, AM radio, No AC. Not only did they run forever, they were pretty quick in a standard cab, 2 WD in the ole square body with a ...probably 3.08 gear. I didnt mind driving it when the truck driver didnt show up but I dreaded the 86 dodge with that slug 225 slant 6. Yeah, I know they last forever but compared to that 300 Ford, it was like a 305 chevy vs a 396 big block
Dear Old Dad got 250,000 on that engine. He sold it later and regretted it. He Pulled a 25ft camping trailer through the Ozark mountains with no problem. At 250,000 you could not tell it used oil at 5,000 miles between changes. His favorite truck Ford F150 with 300ci Straight six.
I have a lot of love and respect for the K20 variants. My first car I bought had a JDM K20A motor and trans with LSD, and I can tell you they can take a beating like no ones business.
The 1Y 1.9L diesel engine from VW is one of best, most long-lasting engines produced by VW. It was in production for a whole 13 years and was deployed into many, many brands and sub-models. Furthermore, it is the most fuel efficient diesel engine by VW at around 5L per 100km and it is rated for 500,000 miles. Super simple and reliable - no turbos or other engine killers. Love it!
I had the VW diesel. It got good fuel mileage and had a good heater. It was a liquid cooled engine. If that thing even saw a hill, I'd have to start down shifting. It was known as the moving roadblock. One night I had someone following on my tail, so I sped up to try to help him out. I slowed down when we got out on a straight stretch. It turned out to be a Lawman. He said I got up to 63 MPH in a 55 MPH. So I told him I'd be honored if he'd give me a speeding ticket! Because then I'd have proof that the Volks Wagen could speed! With a lot of work, I think it might have made it to 300,000 miles. I did have to do a lot of work on the engine, tranny and axles, ETC. One time I got a note on the windshield. It said they were following me and every time I went up a hill, I was spitting oil on them. I had rings falling off of some of the pistons. That explained the bad oil mileage. That was the only diesel I ever saw that had a timing belt. It was a 4-cylinder engine. I say beware of that one, unless it's got low mileage or you like doing restoration projects. To work on it, I needed more than just wrenchs and sockets. Wish you all well!
I had a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville with the 3.8 L v-6. Besides an electrical harness GM issue, this motor was strong and bullet proof. When the car was wrecked by a friend's wife, whom I sold it to, it had over 300k miles on it.
In 2004, I bought a used 1994 Volvo 740i 4cyl turbo. A true plain Jain car. I used it to commute in Los Angeles for about 8 years putting 112 miles a day on it, almost all free way driving. The car was great, easy to work on, changing belts on the engine very easy. Everything about he car was designed for easy maintenance including changing light bulbs. When I bought the car, it had 80,000 on it. In 2012, I sold it for $600 with 325,000 on the engine. In 2024, it was still on the road even after being in an accident after I sold it. Not sure how many miles were on it. For commuting, it was the best car I ever owned. I often regret selling it!
I had a dream once that my mechanic told me if I didn't fix something on my Volvo 242 it might only last 100,000 more miles. Never found out how long it would last as some idiot t-boned me and it was totaled.
My 2008 Honda Civics engine the 1.8l 4 cylinder has 350k trouble free miles. I had a 22 R in my 83 Celica. Fantastic engine. My 96 Regal I used for college commute when I went back to finish my degree. It was via a 50 hwy miles x 2 each day. My Regal had a 3800 V6 awesome engine.
@@Zonfeair interesting we have the same gas powered Toyota but it’s mainly seen in a hilux work mate have seen odo up near the million kilometres here in Australia 🇦🇺
I had an 09 Corvette with the LS3 engine. I drove it daily and ran it hard every chance I got. Redlined all the time. Flooring it at every stoplight. Hard shifts, long trips. Basically dogged it every single day. At 130k it ran like brand new. I was extremely religious with the maintenance, but never had one single thing break or give me trouble not one single time.
The BMW straight 6 engines fitted to many early series BMWs are simply legendary. In my family we owned a few, I still drive a 24 year old 328i with Zero problems with 221,000km and the motor has never been opened. My brother drove a 2002 330i and covered 430,000km when he sold it and the guy who bought it covered a further 200,000km and still driving it.
@@OD99C it wasn't that. It had electronic and fuel injection problems. I spent $3000. and it still wasn't fixed. It was nice while it lasted.too expensive to maintain at the time. Now I have a 15 year old pickup with 316,000 miles. Never been in the shop. Only replaced wiper blades,brake pads, battery
And the 302, and the 351 Cleveland, and the Chrysler 318, and the Oldsmobile/ Pontiac mid blocks. (400 and 455) And the Chevy 283, 396, and 454. And the Cadillac 500, 507, 525, and the legendary 425's. The 454 and 500's are boat engines. All the 500's were also used in the Eldorado. There's a whole list of great engines. All they needed was maintenance and seldom got it.
I personally carry out all the maintenance on my 2005 BMW E46 330ci sport. The 3.0 litre straight six M54 engine currently has close to 180k miles on it, and due to the level of service it receives feels as though it would do that again comfortably. Worth a shout !
you have a pretty good list here , ,but; i would have also included the gm 3800 v6 . my dad had 1 in a pontiac bonneville and it was pretty indestructable !!!!! plain old pushrods and timing chain , what more can you ask for , pure reliability and durability !!!!!!
4.6 2V Modular Ford V-8. Law enforcement, Government, and Taxi service for years. Despite Crown Vic Police Interceptors being discontinued in 2011 due to Fed. Regulations, many remain in service today with hundreds-of-thousands of miles on the clock. Also found in Mustangs, Non-Interceptor Crown Vics, Lincolns, and Marquis.
Yes indeed. Drove a taxi from 1994 until 2007. The cabs couldn’t be more than 5 model years old, so we’d sell them with well over 400,000 miles. Still running strong.
Yup, I have one in my ex copper Vic P-71. 380,000 miles, i treat it like I stole it with yearly oil changes and top ups .. (burns a quart every four months now) - and a 70 mile per day commute. For what it is .. a 330 ci V-8, she's surprisingly thrifty if you're not too heavy on the reins, but has gobs of power if you want to punch them. I'm surprised these aren't more desirable among the resto-mod and hot rod crowd.
He's probably never heard of the Ford Barra being mostly Australia and New Zealand only and he's American so he made not have heard of those two countries.
I would add the Mercury Topaz 2.5 liter inline 4. Mine didn't even loose any oil at over 300,000 miles! I sold it and the guy who bought it was very happy with it!
A good but seldom used Engine was the Mitsubishi 2.5L V6. My friend had one in a Sebring Convertible with 250,000 miles. The valve cover gaskets were a pain to scrape off. They were like petrified wood after the years and miles. But the Engine ran like new, no other leaks no coolant use. Too many of those cars got the less powerful and less reliable 2.4L Mitsubishi 4cyl.
@@Zonaxion-SG-12 It was a 2.3L it was called HSC not to be confused with the 2.3L OHC which first saw use in the Ford Pinto. I owned both, the HSC had some design issues, but it was a very workable engine in a horrible chassis.
Yep the ecotec v6 Holden commodore taxi where known for going over around the odometer on LPG don't get tougher than a million kms and the gearbox would last too though a diff or 2 but hell that's reliability considering taxies are treated rough
The Toyota 2JZ-GE 3.0L DOHC Inline-6 in the Supra was also in the Lexus SC 300, GS 300 & IS 300 in non-turbo form. I have a '98 SC300 & can attest that this engine is a jewel in every way!
It was just weird; so many car companies were going with high revving 4's and 6's, for what? how many people were pushing their little econoboxes past 100mph? Few. A nice low revving, torquey six or four that would get you to 70mph was all that was needed. We didn't need a 90mph car. We just needed great performance from 0 to 75. And those straight sixes were it. AMC, Ford, GM, Chrysler's slant 6, all terrific engines once you got rid of all the extra weight being dragged around.
I drive a Toyota Land Cruiser for work with the 1HD-FTE engine ( inline 6 cylinder ) It has done 510,000 km ( nearly 320,000 miles ) without being touched and the oil still stays clean between services ( 10,000km / 6,000mile intervals ) and they are all the same. I have never seen any other engine, especially a diesel stay so clean.
Without doubt the best diesel engine ever made. In Australia its achieved legend status which is why 'cruisers with this motor bring MORE than the latter V8's. Mine's a 1HDT 12V but the 24V has more go and is a more refined engine. The electronic injector pump likely helps as well. Peek Toyota IMO :)
The 1UZ is also one of the most reliable engines wver built. And it is capable to reach 1M miles. And it was overengineered because Toyota wanted it to last many years without major issues.
UK mechanic here, the stellantis group makes engines for about 80% of our commercial vehicles, including european fords they have designed them for a life of 100,000 miles max, sadly they fail at around 80,000 miles regularly, and cost around £8,000 to renew by the time you have fitted new injectors + a clutch 250,000 miles was easily attainable on the fords 15yrs ago, that is progress for you...
@@TrickyDicky2006 I have a non-descript '76 Valiant sedan that I got for free from the original owner. Rebuilt, resto-modded, built better than factory now. Easy to drive, insurance is much cheaper, registration is $0, and can fix most anything on it.

@@olikat8perhaps you aren't in the US, but in 1976 it had become a Volare. The torsion bar suspension had morphed and the bars were transverse ahead of the engine with trailing arms. I was a Mopar mechanic in the 70's.
Honorable mention: the Mezger flat 6 engine used in various Porsches. If you get a used Porsche, get one with that engine in it. We have a 996TT with almost 400k trouble free kilometers on the clock (though we did have to replace the turbos)... That engine is pretty much indestructible, if you look after it.
My uncle had a 1965 Plymouth Valiant with a 225 cubic inch slant 6 in it that he put over 500,000 miles on it before he finally got rid of it. It was still running when he sold it. He used to say the trick to any engine is keeping up the maintenance on it and making sure that you change your oil and filter at LEAST EVERY 3,000 to 4,000 miles. It didn't have a lot of horsepower or get up and go like a high performance engine, but it was tough, reliable, quiet, and smooth as a sewing machine and got great gas mileage!
My 2008 Ford Crown Victoria has 250,000 miles on it, still going strong. The repairs are pretty straight forward. A couple of the earlier models did have transmission issues, so just keep that in mind. Also be very careful when looking at an 03. Overall, You can’t kill those motors.
I jumped on to say that same thing. You want to talk reliably and fair amounts of torque and bullet proof then it's the 3800 as I watched this all along in my head I just assumed that it would be #1. Oh well we all have different options 👍🇨🇦🔧
I agree with those who say the GM 3800 should be on the list. I have a 2000 Camaro with this engine and it has 221,000 miles and counting. Doesn’t burn any oil and gets 30 mpg on the highway.
My 2007 Toyota 3UR-FE 5.7L V8 was used and abused by the previous owners and it still made it to 315,000 miles before the head gasket failed, I dropped in a low mileage replacement engine and all is well. My 2002 Toyota 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 is about to hit 200,000 with just valve cover gaskets needing to be replaced, it is a million mile engine.
The 1UZ-fe from Toyota found in a lot of V8 Lexus and Toyotas is hands down the best engine I've ever owned. My stepdad bought a 1995 Lexus LS400 new from the dealership used it as a commuter car to drive from Portland Oregon where we live to Seattle where he worked. he put well over 250000 miles on that engine before giving the car to me. I had the car from 2003-2013 never had any major issues never replaced it, just followed the Toyota service intervals. I traded it to my brother for his Lexus ES300 because my wife wanted a smaller car and she felt that the LS was too big lol. last I heard the LS is still going strong up to 400K now! I would love to buy it back and put the 1uz in a FRS or BRZ
I have the utmost respect for the Mercedes-Benz W115-series engines. I had a 1978 Benz 230, which I bought from its first owner when it was 32 years old, and nearly 1.2 MILLION KILOMETRES or 750,000 miles on the odometer, and it was never opened! When I sold it 4 years later, because of emigrating, it had an extra 10,000 or so km on the clock, and still never opened, and still running without a hitch.
The OM617 Mercedes diesel is legendary. A time when Mercedes-Benz was run by engineers, not accountants. Sadly, most vehicles built today at least for the United States market are designed to fail. Manufacturers would rather sell you a brand-new plastic car when the warranty expires instead of actually creating a vehicle built to last.
Bought a Volvo 740 Turbo in 1989 with the 2.3 engine. Did over 500,000 km (310,685 miles) in the 15 years that I owned it. Saw it was still on the road about 5 years later.
GM 3.1 V-6 and GM 3.8 V-6. I had a 3.1 run over 300,000 and still fine and sold it and I still have a 3.1 and a 3.8 and hope for them to last that long as well. 1990's cars.
They must have been different in the Aussie cars , they were an absolute shit box here .however , the 3800 Buick was bullet proof , many Aussie cabs went well over a miilion kilometres .
The One and the only M57 from BMW is my engine of choice. Lots of power, smooth and economical. Mine was build in 1999 and just passed 600000km mark. Still going strong. With factory power 184hp you can easily double that with some bolt-ons. With relatively new technology it's easy to diagnose and repair. Also easy to tune, even with some chinese mockup programmers. You can drive it even below 1000rpm with no vibration or scream at nearly 5000rpm souding like gasoline BMW engine. I know It's not an american V8 or similar beast that have been build for 30 or 40 years. It's more like a common sense in Europe where I live. Old enough to be easy and cheap to fix yet new enough to be nice to drive.
@@soundseeker63 I meant that you can flash its ECU using even cheap chinese mockup programming interfaces. I never said about using chinese parts. You're right about reliability. I would never do that to that nice piece of machinery. Cheers!
I’ve had my 427 in a 1966 Chevelle for 41 years now. It’s been a great engine and still runs like new. I outran a policeman and a 1970 Chevelle with an LS6 with it too.
Surprised to NOT see the GM 3800. My favorite engine of all time is either the Alfa Romeo Busso V6 or the Volkswagen VR6. Honorable mention to the Volkswagen 07K 2.5 5 Cyl. Super reliable.
290k miles on my 96 gmc truck and it still runs like new. Only significant repair was replacing the intake manifold gasket to fix a coolant leak. Change the oil every 5k and flush the coolant every 100k. Still gets me around every day.
Still own an 86 4Runner SR5 bought new in July of 86. 107k miles on mine. Garage kept since new. Still pristine. Only thing I've done is normal maintenance, and timing kit on the 22RE.
Honorable mention: GM's 3.8L / 231 (L27) engine. Mine is in a '94 Buick Regal, running fine with over 207k miles. Careful oil changes and other maintenance basics. PS: Agree on the Volvo engine mentioned at top of the list.
Nothing under 20 years old here. Nothing in vehicles that new parts can still be found for. Fascinating. The 2GR-FE is a more modern excellent engine but it isn't made anymore either. Will the replacement with the addition of DI last as long? You can be sure there are more parts to break. Then there's the rest of the vehicle.
Dude, you forgot the legendary 1.9TDI VW Engine, also called the "balkan edition" in Europe, this is a f* crazy one starts from 90HP up to 150HP (ASZ 130HP, ARL 150HP) and it literaly never dies. I personal know at least 5 people atm who hit 500.000km even with their 90HP engine and I have a friend from university who hit over 800.000km with this engine and just bought another Golf 4 with same engine with low miles (just hit 120.000km by first owner, elderly 90 somehting grandpa). I was never a huge diesel-fan but this engine is so crazy and was usend in almost every car which was built for VW group. The egine was used by VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat. The bigger brother the 3.0L diesel is also super crazy and was used even by Porsche. We had a VW Touareg 3.0L TDI with over 600.000km on the clock bought it with almost 300.000km and it was heavy used by my brother for his small business.
Currently got a ASZ, modified and chipped and currently it sits at 478k km, with 1 liter diesel I can travel around 19km's with a mild heavy foot with AC on. If something happens to the car but the engine is fine, I will take it out of there and put it in a Mk2 golf
I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe LS 5.3L Vortec V8. It only has 200,000 miles but the way it drives and doesn't use any oil between oil changes. I feel like I may have this truck for life.
I'm a old time fan of BMW and to watch them go from making beautiful cars that will reach 250k+ to hideous cars that are junk at 100k has been painful and depressing. Modern cars in general are so full of BS that nobody wants or needs, that makes the car more expensive less reliable and harder to fix. Life in 2024 is stupid in so many ways. Anyone got a car that can take me back to 1994? I'll even settle for 2004! 😒
We have a 2000 toyota sienna bought new and has 326,000 miles.original alternator,fuel pump,ac compressor. It is a 3.0 liter v6. Still has original half shafts. Only ac maintenence was recharging refrigerant. Did rep.ace a few door handles and repaired the rear hatch handle.spare tire hoist rotted out. Replaced all 3 coils before 150,00 miles.replaced leaking valve cover gaskets after 200,000miles. Engine still runs awesome. Only one timing belt replaced at 180,000 miles
Door handles...( Paracord and coat hangar for the hatchback) ....OMG i have the 2001....good ole van though ....255k..miles...home to work back home ...a few longer trips....
My dad had a D100 pickup with the slant 6 in it. Quite reliable but lacking enough power when pulling a loaded trailer at highway speeds on hills. Really can't complain under the circumstances.
I’ve had some of the engines mentioned in cars but never ran them to really high mileage - always trading or selling before hand. Had a Ford 4.6 2V in a 95 Crown Vic that would turn 28-30 mpg on the highway when taking long trips with two or three kids and a trunk full of luggage and junk. Had a 5.4 2V in a 2003 Expedition that was run the longest (18 years but only a little over 100k). Never had any problems with the 4x4 power train but finally sold it cause I didn’t care to deal with the leaking seals every time it rained anymore. Ford 300s, when they’re not yours (company vehicles) and you drive them harder (with manual trans) than you would your own manage to hold up pretty darn good despite sometimes lacking good fleet maintenance. Same with 302/351Ws. My personal favorite is the 351 Cleveland, but it didn’t make this list. We had a couple of Chevy Berettas with the 2.8L. One made it to over 120k until a subsequent owner decided that checking the oil was an over rated superstition… the other managed to start coming apart before it hit a 100k but kids were driving it. The Ford 200 in-line and the Chevy 230/250 were also good high mileage motors. I planning for the 3.5L in my Tacoma to join the list as I don’t plan on buying another any time soon.
Glad the Volvo b230 was mentioned. I had a 940 i drove 575,000 never a problem. My last high mileage car...2005 BMW 530i great engine...sold with 400,000 the guy is still enjoying it.
@@dougjohns5115 Gooe engine? No power and sluggish while getting on the highway. I've had 4 jeep grand cherokees and test drove the ever lasting gobstopper 4.0...The 3 I had 4.7..Sounded great and good pickup, to bad it was in the shop more than on the road. Never bought one again. Constantly smoked and gasket head case with smoking. If you like that so be it. I suggest buying a gas mask though.
@@JB-1184 maybe the shop wasn't that honest(?)and were you the original owner...most don't know the true history ownership of their 2nd 3rd hand vehicles. My xj cherokee is almost at 300 thousand and refusing to give her up..and easy to work on..(and I'm a female)😉
I really love my 2006 VW (really an audi) 2.5 L 5 cylinder motor. I bought the car with some light front end damage with 166k miles. Today, I have 280k miles and it does not leak oil nor burn oil. It comes with a 5 speed standard transmission. The a/c compressor, air pump, coils, and a/c condenser have been replaced, but they are not part of the core engine components. On this car, I have always used a BOSCH OEM part, and good oil filters and good synthetic oil every 3k miles. I have given it regular tune ups with new spark plugs and radiator flushes. This car has gotten up to 135 mph on an open highway at 4.5 RPM and it still had room to go. I would say that this, with speed rated tires and nothing inside could easily reach 155mph. Highly recommend finding one and feeding it great care.
The American Chevrolet 5.7Ltr (LS1) was a great engine for me, i put around 450,000km on it in my Australian 1999 Holden VT Commodore "Wagon" Belina Series 2 (which also was a rare combination a few years before the SS Wagon was ever released) A Reliable engine with zero issues during its life span. With Simply Bolt on upgrades eg. Peacemaker Tri-Y Headers & S.Steel Custom Mandrel Bent Twin 2/12" Exhaust to Single 3" over Diff, High Flow Cats, Custom Air Intake, Custom Dyna Tunning with ECU Reflash & Tranny shift point mod. saw a respectable 219KW at Rear Wheels (Good for a 13.8 at the Drags. Reluctantly i got rid of it due to a bottom end bearing noise & the crazily increaseing fuel prices. I luckily never had the excessive oil consumption that others complained about. RIP HOLDEN 🇦🇺

O noes, Ecoboost was not included!
Gen2 Ecoboost is outstanding. Best GTDI engines out there!
They forgot GM 3.8L(3800)
And 4.6 modular
They forgot Toyota 3tc engine from Corolla early 80
This is a useless marketing video. They left best motors out and pumped up maintenance nightmarers like the BMW M-30
My 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 474,000 miles with the original 4.0L engine.Still doesn't use much oil and runs great.
They that 4.0 is a real good long lasting motor
Isn't it interesting all these engines are no longer in production and what we have now are plagued with problems?
Built in obsolescence. Normal today.
Automotive engineering today is about engineering failure after the warranty period.
Funny how that worked! 😉
itc called ecology
Man that goes for everything made today if you have something good you better hang on to it because whatever the product is the good ones are few and far between
I had an all original 88 towncar with the 5.0 engine, with 436,000 miles on it, it burned no oil, still burned rubber for a block and a half when i sold it 17 years ago. Its probably still running to this day! Miss that car!
I’m a retired 30 year Volvo service advisor. I totally expected the B230 to come out on top. As long as you keep the oil both full and changed, and prevent it from overheating I’ve seen these reach 1,000,000 + miles. (1,300.000 + still going to be exact). My question is this: are any of these engines still in use by their manufacturers? I grew up on a slant six and stupidly traded the car. I owned a Datsun 810 with a 240 Z engine that was a close runner-up.. Ugly car that ran like a scalded rabbit…. My preference in engines are straight sixes and high power for cylinders. I currently own a 2009 Volvo S60 SE that has a straight five cylinder
(See the compromise between 4 and 6?). Obviously I know how to maintain it, and it runs today just like it did when new… the only concern I have with it is the fact that it has a turbo charger.. kind of the week link. I much prefer superchargers over turbos .. they’re much more durable . The car I traded when I got this car was a 2007 Subaru Forrester premium also with a turbo. Subaru flat four is another excellent engine. Some years are stronger than others so do you research if you’re going after one of these. (regarding cars that I’ve owned in the past I also had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova with a small block 350 V8… The only lapse that I’ve had in cars that I bought was when my dad forced me to buy a 1973 Vega (Road and Tracks car of the year that year) biggest piece of junk I’ve ever seen (silicone cylinder liners.. really?)
Back in the early 60s, we were taking 327 Chevy blocks and putting 283 cranks in them, it gave us a 4.00in. bore and the crank gave us a 3.00 stroke, bringing it out to a 301 engine that would haul Gluteus Maximus! 1967 GM saw what we were doing and they created the Z/28, which had a 302 sbc, no difference than ours except GM had more money and they were putting 12.5 to1 pistons in them, they hit RPMs like a 2 stroke engine! That was the good ole days. I want to say you've just got a new subber, I really like your show. Thanks for sharing.
@BobbyTucker the DZ302 is one of my favorite old school V8's
Actually, most 2-stroke engines don't rev as high as their 4-stroke competition.
The only reason GM modified the 327 creating the 302 engine for the 67-69 Z28 was to comply with the 302 capacity class limit set by Trans AM racing in the 1966 its the same reason Ford ran a 302 and AMC ran a 290. They would have run the 327 if they could have as they switched to the 350 in 1970. Its also why Dodge didn't run the Challenger until 1970 with its 340 T/A.
I think that the 4.0/4.2 AMC I6 deserves a spot it and it’s little brother the 2.5L I4 were truly durable engines.
Isn't a 350ci chev the same block as the 327 ci , with a shorter stroke 🤔? So Chuck a 283 crank in a 350 block with decompression plate and turbo it. From memory the small block 350 had 4.00" bore centers. 327s were more revy than 350.
Did you notice one thing about most of these engines? Most of them were produced and used before the early 2000's. What happened? More stringent government emissions and fuel economy regulations. Now we are saddled with carbon buildup problems in DI engines, head gasket issues in low pressure small displacement turbos, CVT transmissions, multi speed transmissions, exploding Hyundai and Kia engines made to save weight, expensive failures of electronic controls, etc. Are any modern (post 2005) electronic controlled, turbocharged, CVT transmissioned vehicles on this list?
The stock market demands cars be perishable to keep shareholders happy. The engineering of the failures is deliberate
They started building everything to be throw away by the mid 2000's.
I tried to fully rebuild a 2012 Ram 2500 several years back. The electrical systems are a show stopper. I've started rebuilding vehicles that are pre-computer instead.
As a retired Volvo tech with over 50+ years of experience on the brand, the B230 isn't anywhere near the engine the earlier models were. The pushrod B18 and B20 were much tougher but my favorites are the B21and B23. They still had the big crank and rods whereas the B230's internals were downsized to save weight and friction. In my long career with Volvo the B230 is the only one I ever saw throw a rod through the side of the block.
All engines need maintance sometimes.. Thats the sad true😊
Which Volvo cars have these engines and which would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
@@uncomfortabletruth8976 The B230 is (almost) as reliable as the B18 and B20 stated above, the problems with weaker internals were adressed as of MY1988 i believe and after that there were even less problems, I have owned 3, one NA with 440k km and two turbos with 330k km. To answer your question though the B18 and B20 can be found in almost any 60's to late 70's volvo. Amazon, P1800, PV, 140 series and early 240 for example
Early 740, 240, up until 1984. 1985, their low friction B230 arrived with weaker internals. If the B230 is considered good then the B21 is GOD
You are absolutely right! You know of what you speak! In the meantime, I guess I will just have to soldier on with my 285,000 mile B230F! lol
Had an f-100 with the 300 engine, went around the clock 3 times and was still going strong when I sold it
I heard a long time ago that it was one of the best 6 bangers ever built!
I had 2 of the 300 inline 6 cylinders built by Ford. Big mistake getting rid of those.
The gm 3800 isn't even broken in till 200k miles. These things almost always outlast the cars they are in.
The 3.8 liter V6 is great. Too bad all the automatic transmissions they put behind them are junk.
I knew a guy with 424,000 commuting miles on his. He had one used engine and one used transmission installed a few years apart. Water got on the floor and popped the passenger side airbag while he was driving down the road. When he brought it to the shop, I started it up to pull it out and I tugged the emergency brake cable under the car while I rocked it back and forth by the rear wheel. At that point the drivers side Airbag popped, with nobody in the car.
I know. I am saving my 1996 junked Olds 88 sitting in my yard because it still has its 3800 ii. I may need it someday to put into my current ride, a '98 LeSabre that has its own 3800 ii engine.
The Ford 4.6L V-8 is an anvil! They frequently go 300-500k miles, and deliver 20mpg in full size sedans i.e. Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Cars. Excellent engine!
It was the cops car in US and in Saudi Arabia also, I had one CV 2009 in Saudi had excellent pick up.
That engine was a piece of junk
@@Rick-g1fyou have no clue what you’re talking about, 😂
I have one still goin since 2003
They also put those in Ford trucks. We had a 2000 Expedition and gave it to our daughter. It has 295K now and runs like a top. Vehicle looks like shit though lol.
The 4.6 iron block V-8 in my 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis has 260,000 on the clock. I've always done oil changes with synthetic every 5,000 and it runs as new. It doesn't burn oil, starts instantly and still gets great mileage. Unfortunately, rust is taking out the body.
I am a huge fan of the 4.6 l as well. In my current f150 Get this, a loaded f150 that time and again gets 22 and 23 mpg ,, in city 18 and 19 . I have had tanks as high as 35 to the gallon (wind was helping) And several hundred miles across Arizona and New Mexico warmed up, no wind, perfect, 26 to the gallon. 140,000 on this engine, no oil consumption between changes.
I miss my GMQ. Don't miss the nonsense with the plastic manifold though.
@@PlymouthVTI sadly had to scrap my 2000 Grand Marquis because of the plastic intake manifold breaking, as well as an electrical short in the ignition which caused it to stall randomly when in the run position on the ignition switch. Couldn't afford to fix it. Damn shame.
The 2 valve 4.6 and 5.4 engines are also nearly indestructible and will go over 2-300k miles with relative ease
@@PlymouthVT I partially agree about the plastic intake. I replaced mine with an aftermarket Dorman (?) Improved mileage 2 or 3 mpg,, but it makes me nervous torquing down an intake to single digit inch pounds,, then a second round of tightening to 20 or 30 something inch pounds,,, Inch pounds,, Holy Wah !
I am the original owner of a 89 jeep 4.0, it has over 400k miles for sure because, my speedometer went bad at 305k miles around 16yrs back, it still runs good same engine and tranny, I did all my maintenance, its my home on wheels at present at an age of 77.
I love the older Jeeps...
I had a 1979 Buick Regal V6 with over 200,000 miles and ran great.
The Buick 3800 really belonged on that list.
Great engine
*The Oldsmobile, the Buick engines came off of the Oldsmobile engine line and were put in the Buicks. It's true I know a guy in Flint that worked in the Oldsmobile side and watched them do it!
My old Bonneville has the 3800 too
Yes , but at least the Slant 6 made the list.
Shoot you’re right. They were great too. Only problem I ever saw with them was ignition coils burning up, but that’s not really an engine issue
UHHHMMM... THINK YOU FORGOT ONE!! THE 3.8 BUICK V6??!!
Amen!
Amen brother@@danielanderson8502
They added supercharger to that motor and through it in a grand prix.
I had a '72 455 SD motor out of a Grand Prix. Dropped it a '78 Trans Am. Here in Oklahoma, 1979 and newer had to pass emissions test. That car had a Borg Warner Supur T-10 transmission and a 373 rear gear. It would out run everything but a gas pump. That motor had 100k miles when I dropped it in. I drove it another 180k and sold the car. Wish I hadn't.
Had one of those and blew the bottom bearing before 200,000miles…regular oil changes
Back in the day I had a slant-six in my Plymouth "Duster." It was unbreakable; still running strong while the rest of the car fell apart. (we nicknamed it "the ruster")
I had slant 6 in 74 Duster you are correct motor was still strong and the car falling apart had torsion bars welded sold it for 50 bucks somewhere around 1980 and I used to see it driving around town for another 3 years
Chrlsler nothing but carb issues back then!
@@mikep1489 I .cannot fault the Duster. This was in the 90's so it was quite old. From buy-here-pay-here lot, sagged to one side. Haha. Those were the days!
I had a 74 Plymouth Valiant with the slant six, I found it to be fairly strong until it through a rod coming home from a VA appointment many miles from home. I limped it to my mechanic (about 60 miles) he said that it would cost too much to fix it and advised that I get another one to put under the hood. I kind of liked that car, it got me through my broke days in college.
Loved my Dusters. Only problem that was a constant in all of them was the overheating. Still have a '64 Slant six 170 in a Valiant.

Best engine ever built

I worked in a junkyard in 1981. We'd buy junk cars for $35 if they were complete. A guy drove in a 1967 Chevy Impala with stock 283 wanting to sell it. We offered $35. He said "I'll blow the engine up before I sell it for $35. We said " Go ahead. We'll still give you $35 for it. He held the pedal to the floor for what seemed like 5 minutes. That motor got up to about 5500 RPM and just steady screamed. It never did blow. We bought the car for $35, put a bigger cam and valve springs and ran 2 summers in a 55 Chevy stock car before the motor ever wore out. True Story. It still ran in the end but it smoked.
My dad would always tell me the same thing about a 283 Chevy - you could hold the throttle to the floor as long as you wanted and it wouldn’t blow up! Those were some screamers with decent heads, intake and cam! Add some compression too and they would rev to the moon!
67 Impala? Was it like the Supernatural car by chance?
Reason was UNDER carbureted and RESTRICTIVE exhaust. I had a 225 Slant Six Dodge the same way. Hold it on the floor in Granny Low and go as long as you wanted to. Tiny Carburetor and Exhaust.
@@Joe-em3iw I had a buddy, around our senior yr in high school, with an 88 monte carlo ss and his dad had a built 400 small block, his dad told him if the 305 in the monte ever died he could put the 400 in it so one night he held it to the floor till it just completely stalled, took forever and sounded terrible right before it died. I figured it probly cracked a head or blew a head gasket, melted pistons or melted bearings and locked the bottom end and he just knew he was getting that 400 but the next day when it had cooled down she fired right up like nothing ever happened. He had a new respect for that little 5 liter after that.
Jeep "bulletproof 4.0 in line 6. Hard to say bad things about.
I can vouch for the ford 300 straight 6. I had one in a 85 E350 work van. It always had at least 750 lbs of gear in it. 280k miles, still ran but I changed jobs and had to give her up.
I was never a hard core Ford guy but i gotta tip my had to this beefy mill. We had em in our delivery trucks in the 80s- early 90s. Simple carb, AM radio, No AC. Not only did they run forever, they were pretty quick in a standard cab, 2 WD in the ole square body with a ...probably 3.08 gear. I didnt mind driving it when the truck driver didnt show up but I dreaded the 86 dodge with that slug 225 slant 6. Yeah, I know they last forever but compared to that 300 Ford, it was like a 305 chevy vs a 396 big block
Dear Old Dad got 250,000 on that engine. He sold it later and regretted it. He Pulled a 25ft camping trailer through the Ozark mountains with no problem. At 250,000 you could not tell it used oil at 5,000 miles between changes. His favorite truck Ford F150 with 300ci Straight six.
I have a lot of love and respect for the K20 variants. My first car I bought had a JDM K20A motor and trans with LSD, and I can tell you they can take a beating like no ones business.
The 1Y 1.9L diesel engine from VW is one of best, most long-lasting engines produced by VW. It was in production for a whole 13 years and was deployed into many, many brands and sub-models. Furthermore, it is the most fuel efficient diesel engine by VW at around 5L per 100km and it is rated for 500,000 miles. Super simple and reliable - no turbos or other engine killers. Love it!
I had the VW diesel. It got good fuel mileage and had a good heater. It was a liquid cooled engine.
If that thing even saw a hill, I'd have to start down shifting. It was known as the moving roadblock.
One night I had someone following on my tail, so I sped up to try to help him out. I slowed down when we got out on a straight stretch. It turned out to be a Lawman. He said I got up to 63 MPH in a 55 MPH. So I told him I'd be honored if he'd give me a speeding ticket! Because then I'd have proof that the Volks Wagen could speed!
With a lot of work, I think it might have made it to 300,000 miles. I did have to do a lot of work on the engine, tranny and axles, ETC. One time I got a note on the windshield. It said they were following me and every time I went up a hill, I was spitting oil on them. I had rings falling off of some of the pistons. That explained the bad oil mileage.
That was the only diesel I ever saw that had a timing belt. It was a 4-cylinder engine. I say beware of that one, unless it's got low mileage or you like doing restoration projects. To work on it, I needed more than just wrenchs and sockets. Wish you all well!
If you like to add oil regulary, and love the tractor rugged sound...
I had a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville with the 3.8 L v-6. Besides an electrical harness GM issue, this motor was strong and bullet proof. When the car was wrecked by a friend's wife, whom I sold it to, it had over 300k miles on it.
In 2004, I bought a used 1994 Volvo 740i 4cyl turbo. A true plain Jain car. I used it to commute in Los Angeles for about 8 years putting 112 miles a day on it, almost all free way driving. The car was great, easy to work on, changing belts on the engine very easy. Everything about he car was designed for easy maintenance including changing light bulbs. When I bought the car, it had 80,000 on it. In 2012, I sold it for $600 with 325,000 on the engine. In 2024, it was still on the road even after being in an accident after I sold it. Not sure how many miles were on it. For commuting, it was the best car I ever owned. I often regret selling it!
Thank
I had a dream once that my mechanic told me if I didn't fix something on my Volvo 242 it might only last 100,000 more miles. Never found out how long it would last as some idiot t-boned me and it was totaled.

You blew it on this one ! Not .mentioning the 3.8 ltr Buick V6!
Nor the Chevy 4.3 v-6.
Didn't mention the chevy 2.2, 4/cylinder either! I used to see them with close to300,000 miles and still pass inspection on a regular basis!🤷♂️🙋♂️
That's a HUGE miss.
😂😂😂
Absolutely! We used Buick Engines (after using Chevy) as “cart starters” for SR-71 in Grand Forks North Dakota and Beale in Ca.
I agree with most of your choices, I would give an honorable mention to the Ford 289 small block v8. It was a remarkable engine in its day.
The GM 283 and 389 were also a bulletproof engines
@zztop8592 Yes, they definitely were as well as the gm 292 straight six, dodge 318, gm 262 4.3 v6, American motors 4L straight six.
And the 302, and the 351 Cleveland, and the Chrysler 318, and the Oldsmobile/ Pontiac mid blocks. (400 and 455) And the Chevy 283, 396, and 454. And the Cadillac 500, 507, 525, and the legendary 425's. The 454 and 500's are boat engines. All the 500's were also used in the Eldorado. There's a whole list of great engines. All they needed was maintenance and seldom got it.
Had one in my '62 Galaxie 500
I have a soft spot for the 289. My Uncle and I put one in my Chevy LUV back in '86. So much fun!!
I personally carry out all the maintenance on my 2005 BMW E46 330ci sport. The 3.0 litre straight six M54 engine currently has close to 180k miles on it, and due to the level of service it receives feels as though it would do that again comfortably.
Worth a shout !
My 2001 BMW 330i E46, with 190k miles, is still in excellent condition. I do my own maintenance, brakes, and suspension work.
Yeah they get a bad rap sometimes, but as you obviously know, good maintenance is key. Keep up the good work.
1uzfe, 2uzfe, and 3uzfe should be in the top 10. Those engines last a very longtime as well and are well built engines!
you have a pretty good list here , ,but; i would have also included the gm 3800 v6 . my dad had 1 in a pontiac bonneville and it was pretty indestructable !!!!! plain old pushrods and timing chain , what more can you ask for , pure reliability and durability !!!!!!
my fav inline I-6 225, 292 Chevrolet , ford 300 , jeep 4.0
All deserved to be on the list of best built engines.
258 Inline 6 In Jeeps.
great amc engine
4.6 2V Modular Ford V-8. Law enforcement, Government, and Taxi service for years. Despite Crown Vic Police Interceptors being discontinued in 2011 due to Fed. Regulations, many remain in service today with hundreds-of-thousands of miles on the clock. Also found in Mustangs, Non-Interceptor Crown Vics, Lincolns, and Marquis.
Yes indeed. Drove a taxi from 1994 until 2007. The cabs couldn’t be more than 5 model years old, so we’d sell them with well over 400,000 miles. Still running strong.
I was expecting it to be on the list,500k miles is easily reachable and some even hit a million.
Thousands of cab companies can attest to that.
Yup, I have one in my ex copper Vic P-71. 380,000 miles, i treat it like I stole it with yearly oil changes and top ups .. (burns a quart every four months now) - and a 70 mile per day commute. For what it is .. a 330 ci V-8, she's surprisingly thrifty if you're not too heavy on the reins, but has gobs of power if you want to punch them. I'm surprised these aren't more desirable among the resto-mod and hot rod crowd.
@@JimTheZombieHunter If you are talking about the 4.6L, that works out to 281 cubic inches. I have a town car with one and love it.
I bought a 2010 F150 with the 4.6 Rusty body but good frame. Just runs down the road change the oil every 5000 miles. Got 170k on her now.
A few more would be the Ford Barra, Toyota 1GR-FE, Nissan TD-42, Toyota 2UZ-FE, and the 3800 V6.
I'd add the Chrysler Australia 4.0 litre and 4.3 litre Hemi engines to that list. :)
He's probably never heard of the Ford Barra being mostly Australia and New Zealand only and he's American so he made not have heard of those two countries.
I would add the Mercury Topaz 2.5 liter inline 4. Mine didn't even loose any oil at over 300,000 miles! I sold it and the guy who bought it was very happy with it!
A good but seldom used Engine was the Mitsubishi 2.5L V6. My friend had one in a Sebring Convertible with 250,000 miles. The valve cover gaskets were a pain to scrape off. They were like petrified wood after the years and miles. But the Engine ran like new, no other leaks no coolant use. Too many of those cars got the less powerful and less reliable 2.4L Mitsubishi 4cyl.
@@Zonaxion-SG-12 It was a 2.3L it was called HSC not to be confused with the 2.3L OHC which first saw use in the Ford Pinto. I owned both, the HSC had some design issues, but it was a very workable engine in a horrible chassis.
I have a 2008 Lexus GX-470 with the 4.7 liter Toyota engine in it. Over 226,000 miles and still going strong
the toyota myth
Travesty to forget the GM 3.8 V6
Yeah.
Yep the ecotec v6 Holden commodore taxi where known for going over around the odometer on LPG don't get tougher than a million kms and the gearbox would last too though a diff or 2 but hell that's reliability considering taxies are treated rough
Buick 3.8
The Jeep 4 litre! 1992 Grand went 350k miles and was running fine when I gave it away. so was the Torque flite (only used in the 92)
I agree. My 1999 Jeep had 250,000 miles on it before I sold it. Unfortunately
@@danlayman2194 I have on that is 117,000 miles on it, and good body. ONLY in a Jeep.
The Toyota 2JZ-GE 3.0L DOHC Inline-6 in the Supra was also in the Lexus SC 300, GS 300 & IS 300 in non-turbo form. I have a '98 SC300 & can attest that this engine is a jewel in every way!
also the 2001-2005 Lexus is300 has the n/a 2jz.
@@08is300 I didn't know that! I thought the IS used a V6. I will correct my comment. Thanks!
@@phillipmitchell5879 no problem, the Lexus IS started using the v6 after 2006. with the 2nd generation .
1UZ-FE!!!!!!!!!!
And 2uz and 3uz 😅
My Grand Cherokee 1999 WJ, has 4.0, six-in-the-line. State of the art
It was just weird; so many car companies were going with high revving 4's and 6's, for what? how many people were pushing their little econoboxes past 100mph? Few. A nice low revving, torquey six or four that would get you to 70mph was all that was needed. We didn't need a 90mph car. We just needed great performance from 0 to 75. And those straight sixes were it. AMC, Ford, GM, Chrysler's slant 6, all terrific engines once you got rid of all the extra weight being dragged around.
@@d.e.b.b5788agreed at all
You forgot to mention the Mopar 318 cu in. Again, a bullet proof design and a favorite of hot rod and race enthusiasts.
The Vw 1.9 tdi asz engine lasts forever. That engine should be well up there.
My 2005 1.9tdi...engine fine..car fell apart around it.
Where's the vw tdi ? It lasts forever.
My 2002 VW Jetta 1.9 TDI ALH runs like a Swiss Watch with 330,000 miles on her !
EGR Delete of course !
I have the 1.9 tdi ASZ. Incredible amazing engine. Love it.
What about 2.0 tdi Vw , with regular oil change on less than 10K last forever.
I drive a Toyota Land Cruiser for work with the 1HD-FTE engine ( inline 6 cylinder ) It has done 510,000 km ( nearly 320,000 miles ) without being touched and the oil still stays clean between services ( 10,000km / 6,000mile intervals ) and they are all the same. I have never seen any other engine, especially a diesel stay so clean.
Without doubt the best diesel engine ever made. In Australia its achieved legend status which is why 'cruisers with this motor bring MORE than the latter V8's. Mine's a 1HDT 12V but the 24V has more go and is a more refined engine. The electronic injector pump likely helps as well. Peek Toyota IMO :)
Nissan Patrol Straight 6 -4.2 ain't to Shabby either. All most 455.000km in Africa and still runs clean and smooth
The 1UZ is also one of the most reliable engines wver built. And it is capable to reach 1M miles. And it was overengineered because Toyota wanted it to last many years without major issues.
350 Chevrolet motor the best ever
98 firebird has GM 3800 and 354k miles. It's my work car nowadays 26 mpg and pulls hard still.
They get 30 mpg on the interstate at 75 mph. Great engine.
UK mechanic here, the stellantis group makes engines for about 80% of our commercial vehicles, including european fords
they have designed them for a life of 100,000 miles max, sadly they fail at around 80,000 miles regularly, and cost around £8,000 to renew by the time you have fitted new injectors + a clutch
250,000 miles was easily attainable on the fords 15yrs ago, that is progress for you...
A Franco-Italian conglomerate not being known for value, durability, or quality...not too shocking
Obsolescence
@@TrickyDicky2006 I have a non-descript '76 Valiant sedan that I got for free from the original owner. Rebuilt, resto-modded, built better than factory now. Easy to drive, insurance is much cheaper, registration is $0, and can fix most anything on it.
@@TrickyDicky2006 that is why my family fleet are diesel fords, 2007- 2017, all over 100k now. the only one that has buggered me about is the the latest buy for the wife, 2017 B max, 25k miles only, sticking in gear once a week, her old 2014 B max is still going strong at 120k... "well, you're the mechanic" is what i get all the time...
@@olikat8perhaps you aren't in the US, but in 1976 it had become a Volare. The torsion bar suspension had morphed and the bars were transverse ahead of the engine with trailing arms. I was a Mopar mechanic in the 70's.
Honorable mention: the Mezger flat 6 engine used in various Porsches. If you get a used Porsche, get one with that engine in it. We have a 996TT with almost 400k trouble free kilometers on the clock (though we did have to replace the turbos)... That engine is pretty much indestructible, if you look after it.
I have a 327 on my 64 gmc still going strong kicking ass on those new engines👍
My uncle had a 1965 Plymouth Valiant with a 225 cubic inch slant 6 in it that he put over 500,000 miles on it before he finally got rid of it. It was still running when he sold it. He used to say the trick to any engine is keeping up the maintenance on it and making sure that you change your oil and filter at LEAST EVERY 3,000 to 4,000 miles. It didn't have a lot of horsepower or get up and go like a high performance engine, but it was tough, reliable, quiet, and smooth as a sewing machine and got great gas mileage!
My 2008 Ford Crown Victoria has 250,000 miles on it, still going strong.
The repairs are pretty straight forward. A couple of the earlier models did have transmission issues, so just keep that in mind.
Also be very careful when looking at an 03.
Overall, You can’t kill those motors.
What about GM's 3800 V6 ?
Gm 3800 should be on here!!!
I jumped on to say that same thing. You want to talk reliably and fair amounts of torque and bullet proof then it's the 3800 as I watched this all along in my head I just assumed that it would be #1. Oh well we all have different options 👍🇨🇦🔧
@@nvragn Gm 3800s out live humans!!
Yes I have on 2003 220,000 still going ?😊
My thoughts exactly, every generation of the GM v-6 are virtual indestructible
I agree with those who say the GM 3800 should be on the list. I have a 2000 Camaro with this engine and it has 221,000 miles and counting. Doesn’t burn any oil and gets 30 mpg on the highway.
Toyota 22R , the best engine ever created
My 2007 Toyota 3UR-FE 5.7L V8 was used and abused by the previous owners and it still made it to 315,000 miles before the head gasket failed, I dropped in a low mileage replacement engine and all is well. My 2002 Toyota 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 is about to hit 200,000 with just valve cover gaskets needing to be replaced, it is a million mile engine.
i agree mine has 349,000 miles and still going like it was new!!!!
The 1UZ-fe from Toyota found in a lot of V8 Lexus and Toyotas is hands down the best engine I've ever owned. My stepdad bought a 1995 Lexus LS400 new from the dealership used it as a commuter car to drive from Portland Oregon where we live to Seattle where he worked. he put well over 250000 miles on that engine before giving the car to me. I had the car from 2003-2013 never had any major issues never replaced it, just followed the Toyota service intervals. I traded it to my brother for his Lexus ES300 because my wife wanted a smaller car and she felt that the LS was too big lol. last I heard the LS is still going strong up to 400K now! I would love to buy it back and put the 1uz in a FRS or BRZ
I have the utmost respect for the Mercedes-Benz W115-series engines. I had a 1978 Benz 230, which I bought from its first owner when it was 32 years old, and nearly 1.2 MILLION KILOMETRES or 750,000 miles on the odometer, and it was never opened! When I sold it 4 years later, because of emigrating, it had an extra 10,000 or so km on the clock, and still never opened, and still running without a hitch.
I’ve got a 2000 Toyota tundra. 490,000 km’s on it. The 4.7 v8 engine still runs like it’s brand new, and it hasn’t had an easy life whatsoever.
me too a 2001 tundra
I have an 06 and runs l8ke new with 260,000 miles on it and I'm shooting for half a million.
I had a Dodge ramcharger a 1989 and it had a 318 motor they're very efficient and very strong two-barrel carburetor throttle body
The OM617 Mercedes diesel is legendary. A time when Mercedes-Benz was run by engineers, not accountants. Sadly, most vehicles built today at least for the United States market are designed to fail. Manufacturers would rather sell you a brand-new plastic car when the warranty expires instead of actually creating a vehicle built to last.
Yup 👍 Say that to the Mega GDP gross Mega 🙏 country
Bought a Volvo 740 Turbo in 1989 with the 2.3 engine. Did over 500,000 km (310,685 miles) in the 15 years that I owned it. Saw it was still on the road about 5 years later.
283 and 327 sbc, GM 5.3 LS, slant 6 Chrysler.
That gm 5.3 tho
The 318 was pretty good also. You could do some minor performance upgrades and the little motor came alive.

Missed the Ford 4.6 Modular V8, which is considered one of the best longest lasting least maintenance engines in Automotive History.
They must have been different in the Aussie cars , they were an absolute shit box here .however , the 3800 Buick was bullet proof , many Aussie cabs went well over a miilion kilometres .
That made me give this vid a thumbs down
Hard to beat a 4.6.
The One and the only M57 from BMW is my engine of choice. Lots of power, smooth and economical. Mine was build in 1999 and just passed 600000km mark. Still going strong. With factory power 184hp you can easily double that with some bolt-ons. With relatively new technology it's easy to diagnose and repair. Also easy to tune, even with some chinese mockup programmers. You can drive it even below 1000rpm with no vibration or scream at nearly 5000rpm souding like gasoline BMW engine. I know It's not an american V8 or similar beast that have been build for 30 or 40 years. It's more like a common sense in Europe where I live. Old enough to be easy and cheap to fix yet new enough to be nice to drive.
Everything was good there until you said Chinese.... Want to ruin a reliable car? Start fitting cheap crappy Chinese parts to it!
@@soundseeker63 I meant that you can flash its ECU using even cheap chinese mockup programming interfaces. I never said about using chinese parts. You're right about reliability. I would never do that to that nice piece of machinery. Cheers!
You left out the Ford 4.6L, it's bulletproof!
I’ve had my 427 in a 1966 Chevelle for 41 years now. It’s been a great engine and still runs like new. I outran a policeman and a 1970 Chevelle with an LS6 with it too.
Surprised to NOT see the GM 3800. My favorite engine of all time is either the Alfa Romeo Busso V6 or the Volkswagen VR6. Honorable mention to the Volkswagen 07K 2.5 5 Cyl. Super reliable.
Definitely the slant 6
Chevy's 4.3L V6 is a good one
Agreed
Just have to replace the Intake gaskets, timing chain, fuel injectors and fuel pump every 100,000 miles.
290k miles on my 96 gmc truck and it still runs like new. Only significant repair was replacing the intake manifold gasket to fix a coolant leak. Change the oil every 5k and flush the coolant every 100k. Still gets me around every day.
@@garyhall8308 I am driving 1 now with 400 K never had any of that done...EVER

The engine in the Crown Vic is not joke either
Yes not surprised to see the 22R -RE. I owned a 86 4Runner that had 340,000 miles when I let it go 3 years ago. Great motor great truck
Still own an 86 4Runner SR5 bought new in July of 86. 107k miles on mine. Garage kept since new. Still pristine. Only thing I've done is normal maintenance, and timing kit on the 22RE.
Honorable mention: GM's 3.8L / 231 (L27) engine. Mine is in a '94 Buick Regal, running fine with over 207k miles. Careful oil changes and other maintenance basics.
PS: Agree on the Volvo engine mentioned at top of the list.
Nothing under 20 years old here. Nothing in vehicles that new parts can still be found for. Fascinating. The 2GR-FE is a more modern excellent engine but it isn't made anymore either. Will the replacement with the addition of DI last as long? You can be sure there are more parts to break. Then there's the rest of the vehicle.
Dude, you forgot the legendary 1.9TDI VW Engine, also called the "balkan edition" in Europe, this is a f* crazy one starts from 90HP up to 150HP (ASZ 130HP, ARL 150HP) and it literaly never dies. I personal know at least 5 people atm who hit 500.000km even with their 90HP engine and I have a friend from university who hit over 800.000km with this engine and just bought another Golf 4 with same engine with low miles (just hit 120.000km by first owner, elderly 90 somehting grandpa). I was never a huge diesel-fan but this engine is so crazy and was usend in almost every car which was built for VW group. The egine was used by VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat. The bigger brother the 3.0L diesel is also super crazy and was used even by Porsche. We had a VW Touareg 3.0L TDI with over 600.000km on the clock bought it with almost 300.000km and it was heavy used by my brother for his small business.
To less consumption for americans
Currently got a ASZ, modified and chipped and currently it sits at 478k km, with 1 liter diesel I can travel around 19km's with a mild heavy foot with AC on.
If something happens to the car but the engine is fine, I will take it out of there and put it in a Mk2 golf
The turbos fail on turbo diesels even though the engines are good. Expensive repair to replace turbo.

I'm a old time fan of BMW and to watch them go from making beautiful cars that will reach 250k+ to hideous cars that are junk at 100k has been painful and depressing.
Modern cars in general are so full of BS that nobody wants or needs, that makes the car more expensive less reliable and harder to fix. Life in 2024 is stupid in so many ways. Anyone got a car that can take me back to 1994? I'll even settle for 2004! 😒
Basically any Honda and almost any Toyota is indestructible with basic maintenance.
I would agree except I would have to say 2018 and earlier everything passed about is not nearly as good. The older ones lasted forever.

Yes yez
I’ve had some of the engines mentioned in cars but never ran them to really high mileage - always trading or selling before hand. Had a Ford 4.6 2V in a 95 Crown Vic that would turn 28-30 mpg on the highway when taking long trips with two or three kids and a trunk full of luggage and junk. Had a 5.4 2V in a 2003 Expedition that was run the longest (18 years but only a little over 100k). Never had any problems with the 4x4 power train but finally sold it cause I didn’t care to deal with the leaking seals every time it rained anymore. Ford 300s, when they’re not yours (company vehicles) and you drive them harder (with manual trans) than you would your own manage to hold up pretty darn good despite sometimes lacking good fleet maintenance. Same with 302/351Ws. My personal favorite is the 351 Cleveland, but it didn’t make this list. We had a couple of Chevy Berettas with the 2.8L. One made it to over 120k until a subsequent owner decided that checking the oil was an over rated superstition… the other managed to start coming apart before it hit a 100k but kids were driving it. The Ford 200 in-line and the Chevy 230/250 were also good high mileage motors. I planning for the 3.5L in my Tacoma to join the list as I don’t plan on buying another any time soon.
Glad the Volvo b230 was mentioned. I had a 940 i drove 575,000 never a problem. My last high mileage car...2005 BMW 530i great engine...sold with 400,000 the guy is still enjoying it.

I really love my 2006 VW (really an audi) 2.5 L 5 cylinder motor. I bought the car with some light front end damage with 166k miles. Today, I have 280k miles and it does not leak oil nor burn oil. It comes with a 5 speed standard transmission. The a/c compressor, air pump, coils, and a/c condenser have been replaced, but they are not part of the core engine components. On this car, I have always used a BOSCH OEM part, and good oil filters and good synthetic oil every 3k miles. I have given it regular tune ups with new spark plugs and radiator flushes. This car has gotten up to 135 mph on an open highway at 4.5 RPM and it still had room to go. I would say that this, with speed rated tires and nothing inside could easily reach 155mph. Highly recommend finding one and feeding it great care.
