I know plenty of cars 20-25 years old now that have original sensors still working. Sure a few have gone bad but a CEL or similar will tell you that and you just replace it. Recently did a cylinder head temp sensor on my F-150 after a warning came up. $30 and 1 hour later it was working again.

This is a feature that dealers have been waiting for. They can now comfortably charge you for an oil change and not do it.
@LifeAfterLosingАй бұрын
The sensor would tell you that the oil needs to be changed. It’s not based on mileage, the sensors can tell how much life is actually left in the oil. I have a car that does it now and it’s crazy how long it can go before it says it needs an oil change, but the oil is clean and in good shape even when it says it’s ready. Synthetics are pretty amazing these days.

I would agree with that only it’s the other way now with oil pressures being much higher now you will most likely see oil in the cooling system before you see coolant in the oil. Also you will get exhaust gasses in the cooling system before the coolant mixes with oil now too.

Oil is rarely filled in the same location as the dipstick/dipstick tube. Most engines have a separate oil fill and dipstick. So, this engine retains the oil fill but eliminates the dipstick. There are some engines that do have a dipstick attached to the oil fill cap though, so the oil is installed and checked at the same place.

Changing functions on vehicles to being electronically controlled is something that auto manufacturers probably believe is cool or convenient for the consumer but what they do not think about is the fact that electronics eventually fail. The more electronics the more expensive the fix. Pickups should be reliable and easy to service. They were meant to be a tool for work or play. Manufacturers are leaving this idea now.
