Pros and Cons

This 2.4-liter engine is known for unbeatable reliability. Holt, MI drivers can rest assured that this engine will not present any issues, even after it surpasses 150,000 miles. That being said, there have been a few minor issues reported that are worth mentioning. Oil starvation has been known to occur, leading to clogging. This is remedied by simply having the oil supply bolts checked during your routine oil change, which should take place every 3,750 miles.

Gasket oil leaks have also been reported, but these are a normal occurrence with any engine. After 100,000 miles, have your mechanic check for leaks due to normal wear and tear. Any signs of smoke or the scent of burning oil are a sign something is wrong, but this is an incredibly rare occurrence.
