Auto companies have been going the wrong direction for awhile now.

Leastwise that's what I see watching car repair videos on youtube.

They don't build them to be serviceable anymore, just quick to build.

Recommend loo long between oil changes, and employ turbo chargers and low force piston rings that require oil changes more often or your engine gets sludge up. Wet elastomer timing belts. Engines that shut off every time you stop, or ones that remove some of the pistons enabled part of the time.

Computers everywhere that create more problems than they solve.

Reliability given up to planned obsolesce.

The "car care nut" has an explanation on what it's really like for auto mechanics at dealerships.
