I worked at a Moble station for years doing automotive inspection, I've seen the 3800 V6 powered vehicles come in with 300,000 miles and still pass the emissions test with flying colors! Same emissions as a new vehicle after 300,000 miles and if I'm not mistaken the only engines to do it time and time again, that is to say there where others that would pass that had high mileage but none as consistently as the 3800!🙋♂️
Volvo b18 all of those are rookie numbers
Volvos are great if you feel like driving a 100 miles to get a lite bulb changed
Old Volvos were as tough as bricks even before the 240 arrived.
B200 series.
I AGREE WITH U BRO !!
Million mile club!!!
Pffft.... let me tell you qbout a slant 6 my mom had in a Volare.... she bought it with 259k on it for $600, daily drove it for 12 years. She never changed the oil, checked the coolant or even did tires or breaks. It completed 2 trips annually from Rockland Maine to Albany Kentucky. In the end she sold it to a guy we knew named Ed in 1995 for $600. He is still driving it today in florida...Florida.... no rebuild.... ever. I'll ask for a odometer reading and a pic.
That slant six and also a Chevy slant 6 seemed to be able to run forever, but I would question did she really never change oil? Are you sure ?, it's just hard to believe.
@@jasonhanna1 that's just weird! That's a rare occurrence for sure!🙆♂️🙋♂️
@@henrysniper8481 My Drafting Teacher had a Ford 300 and he NEVER checked the oil or ANYTHING!!!
Had over 300.000 on a 67 slant six, have 245,000 on my 07 5.7 hemi, my son has 365,000 on his 07 5.7 hemi and I know of more than just a few 318's that ran over 300,000 miles.
Silverado with a 305, had over 600k when I sold it and still ran great.
You missed the Honda V6 J, just went past 320K miles. Still gets 30 mpg and beats most to the next redlight.
I have a 1978 Benz 300SD ( early car ). It motor has 733,000 miles on it great motor. Also have a 1983 Benz 300D that has 677,000 miles. Just keep valves adjusted and change oil every 2500 to 3000 miles. They can go for ever.
Thousands of European Taxi drivers agree with you. I've seen a couple of 300D engines with over a million miles on them with the original auxiliaries as well. One car we used to regularly service only needed a clutch at 268k miles. Not bad. Oil changes every 5000 miles with good quality oil and genuine filters. coolant every 2 years and brake fluid every 2 years Fuel and air filters every year (due to city stop / start driving). They need nothing other than an occasional wash. Brilliant cars.
@user-hm8wf8wv1m wow! That's amazing, I saw a guy on a documentary a few years ago and I believe he had a million miles on his Volvo but it wasn't the original engine or trans if I'm not mistaken. I didn't run into many volvo's when I was in the business, buy yeah when I did they were always well maintained and passed inspection now that I think about it.🤔🙋♂️
I consider the 70s and 80s Benz diesels to be the toughest cars of all time.
I give second place to the Crown Vic
I give third place to the Volvo Brick
I loved that 3.8 Buick. I had one in a Buick Skyhawk and that thing was fast, it had great acceleration.
I had a 350 Buick. Ran like a champ but the car fell apart and rusted out in no time. Junk! The ONLY NEW car I ever bought! 73 Century I think?
I just sold my 97 Toyota 4 Runner with a 3.4 V6 that had over 425000 miles and still running today.
Mine has 270K

Thank you !👍 😊
@@DerTou boy! You know your engines! Have to agree with you on your list!😉👍
Toyota 3.4 V6
How about the volvo redblock?
I don’t believe the Buick 3800 ever powered a ‘65 Impala or any ‘70 Oldsmobiles.
How about the mid seventies Skyhawks
My 4.3 astro van has over 755,000,km.Engine has not been apart.3 TRANS AND 3 REAR ENDS,3 STARTERS ,3 ALTERNATORS AND 3 FUEL PUMPS.Original fuel injection.Lucas and shell 91 is the key.
That engine in the Volvo 240.
Forgot the almighty Barra I6 from Australia 💪 and its father the SOHC/intech I6 4.0, indestructible.
@355scott I've heard of those and watched videos of them on u-tube, they drive them to work and to buy groceries and drag them on thr weekends lol, even drive them to the dragstrip! They say they are built so well you can ad turbo and nitro without having to beef up the bottom end, that really astonishing, inline 6, isn't it and a Ford product if I'm not mistaken, like the 300cid on steroids lol!🤠👍
@@DarrenFinleyYes that is where the design came from. The inline 6 was from the Ford Falcon named the "Thrift poweer six". But there were a few inline six's designed by Ford. The last run of the 300 inline 4.9 L that I'm aware of was 1996.
This was one of the best I6 with cast iron heads and block. Could make crazy power with stock internals.
My 99 accord 2.3 has 430k and still kickin.
Back in the 80’s, I use to drive company service trucks. Most of the trucks were newer Ford trucks with the 4.9 liter engine and automatic transmission. One day, the owner gave me an older Chevy truck with a V-6 engine and manual transmission. Not only was the Chevy faster than the Ford trucks, it got impressive gas mileage too. I drove the truck to San Antonio and back and was shocked that it used little fuel compared to the Ford trucks. I’m not sure what happened to that Chevy truck but the owner must have sold it because it was a great truck.
All semi truck engines are rated to 1million miles and transmission to 800k miles while towing upto 80000lbs, why car engines doing 300k miles is such a big deal. Cars are intentionally designed with obsolescence in mind, trucks are designed to last much longer.
Tradeoff is the COST.
Try finding a new semi truck under $60k (does anyone make one they sell new for under $100k any more?) - LOTS of cars for around half that.
missed the glorious 1.9 tdi
Damn, you're right!
And 2 1/4 ltr derv perkings, beats all of these even tha re toyota
An any Cummins obvs❤️
The one with the distributor pump was amazing. It is said the PD was hit or miss due to cam issues.
missed the legendary 4.0L straight 6
I had an old Plymouth Duster with a Slant 6 engine.Dad reliable but heavy and not fuel efficient.
The MAZDA 2.5 liter engine is also VERY reliable, whether naturally aspirated or turbocharged. It is used in most of their vehicles except the MIATA.
I rode in a lincoln town car taxi in DC that had 785000 orig motor
Our Ford Lincoln Towne car,, 4.6. L.V.8. Has 800.000. Miles. All. Orign🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fire whoever edited this.
The Mercedes 5 cly diesel was great! The 4 cyl NA Mercedes diesel was the Taxi cab engine of choice in Germany when I was in the Army. (65) Absolutely bullet proof. Weak and slow...but as a taxi in a city it was GREAT! 190 D generally.
Mercedes OM 606 runs forever.
I would make at least one exception to the buick engine. Series 1 3.8 was great. So was the supercharged 3800 series II. But the normally aspirated 3800 series II had one major problem. The plastic intake manifold would crack and cause hydrolocking when coolent leaked into the cylinders. These could leak as low as 50k-70k miles. Other than that and the plastic coolant elbows used into the water pump they were reliable. Replace the elbows with metal and the manifold and you are good to go.
I consider Nissan V6 engines to be winners among V6 engines.
Many people asked if turbo power is going to doom new cars. I just say it is a matter of doing turbo power the right way. The 300ZX Twin Turbo VG30DETT held together well for the time. I can't say the car it was in was such a good idea.
4.6 Ford v8, easily runs over 300,000 miles in stretched Licoln Town cars. And no mention of this? Really?!
Thanks for pointing that out! We'll cover that in the next video. Stay tuned!
They forgot to mention the Daimler Chrysler 3.5 Magnum V6.
Guaranteed to go 300,000 miles.
I had a Mercedes 300 CD with the 5 cylinder diesel 🔥🔥👍
I also had a Toyota pickup with the 22RE. Fantastic reliability for both of these engines 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
6:38 And the forgotten W116 300SD
If I had a dollar for every time "robustness" or "robust" was overused in this video, I could buy an LS crate motor. Really???
Ford 4.6? My crown Victoria has 425k and is still running fine. I’m super fussy about maintenance so that helps.
American engines Ford 302 Ford 289 Dodge 225 6 cylinder couldn't kill it Chevrolet 350 Chevrolet 454 too many these are the best engines made in America or that was in the past I don't know about now but these engines were engines you couldn't hardly destroyed and they are the best in my eyes
Who picks the pictures for these videos?
They need to be fired.
The video guy is on vacation...😎
The Buick nail head V6 of the 1960 s was great and the Japanese 22 re was very good and the 1948 straight 8 was good and the big six from ford was good same as the jeep wrangler and with mechanical lifters it was a high mileage engine
The. LS. Engine s. WOW. That is a shot gun class of many of designs. You mean the check is in the Mail. Interesting
Before 1973 slant 6 was great after that bottom end problems because of lighter components
ZDO YOUR RESEARCH.
HOW CAN YOU TSLK ABOUT MOST RELIABLE E GI ES IN AUTO HISTORY WOTHOUT REFERENCING THE GM DIVISION INLINE 6 AND CAST IRON V8S LIKE THE CHEVY SMALL BLOCK V8 IN PARTICULAR.
ALSO THE CADILLAC CAST IRON OHV V8!!!!
WE ARE AMERICA S AND IT WAS OUR ENGINES THAT PUT OUR NATION ON WHEELS.
NOT FOREIGN ENGINES.
TOYOTA AND HONDA DO HAVE GREAT ENGI ES.
Missed GM 2200 i4
Jesus, 200 000 miles is nothing.
I buy my SAABs at that milage and maybe i’ve to change the lightbulbs.
Ford early 2000s version of the 4.3 V6.
Last LONGER most of the time than the legendary 300 Inline 6.
4.6
The 3800 has an had intake seal problems an Cadillac loses antifreeze on piston
Where are the British engines obviously they are not good enough a couple of European engines andnplenty of Japanese engines and of course engines from the USA and buy any vehicle with any of these engines under the bonnet you will be happy and l lhave a 1997 Toyota Hilux with the 22R engine under the bonnet and l am very pleased amd it has passed the 200000 mile barrier no engine issues
Ford 4.6,, V8,, in crown. Vics. Lincoln Towne cars🎉🎉🎉🎉
chrysler slant six all the way
22r had timing chain ten problems at 100.000 miles
No mention of the Ford pushrod 5.0 V8 of the 80's and early 90's? I got 310k miles out of my first 5.0L Mustang. I got 250k miles out of my second 5.0L Mustang. If I buy a Mustang 5.0 with 100k miles on it, I consider it broke in miles. I can easily get another 100k miles out of the car.
Those were the same as the Ford 302 of the late 1960/1970s.
VERY long lived design for the core engine.
Chrysler slant 6
Missed the Sierra or Cleon line of engines from Renault
@BAKERAGUSTINIANO Renault purchased nissan in 2008 and nissan's rep went down hill, just saying! I have a 1999 nissan sentra with three hundred thousand miles and it still passes emission! I purchased a 2013 sentra not knowing Renault had bought them out it has 50,000 and I doupt it will make it to 100,000! Has that CVT trans and that was another mistake I made! Oh well we all make mistakes sometimes!🙆♂️
The Camaro, 'Vette & GTO you showed were LOOONG before the LS Engines. Just sayin.
Why in this video Is not Nissan sd33?
300 6 piston skirt problems at 80.000
Hemi’s???
IGR FE
No 4.6 FORDS???
Nissan straight 4 ???
dislike for that AI voice
Thirty eight hundred
Injection problems
Thumbs down for the garbage AI narration. Take a few minutes, narrate it yourself, add a human touch. It'll pay off.
VW bug 1200cc air-cooled engine goes and goes forever.
@pauls.2526 those little 1.5 online 4's with the over head cam in the rabit and dashers are awesome engines! I've owned both, prefer the dasher because of the room inside. They're Not interference engines so if the timing belt goes your ok! I was on my way to work one morning in 1990 in a 1978 dasher and the timing belt went, I pull over at a convenience store just down the street from where I lived, called my dad to bring me a timing belt I had laying around and he did, I already had the cover off from a previous time so I didn't have that to contend with, anyway I replaced the belt and still made it to work on time, only took me about 15 min.to change it lol. Even if you have to remove the timing cover it's not too bad, probably take another 15 to 20 min.to remove cover but I always left them off once I took them off. Just have to make sure , if your under the hood and engine is running don't let you long hair or rag or shirt tail get caught in the belt lol. 🙆♂️🙋♂️
I found it amazing just how much the original Rabbit block could endure.
VW managed to make diesels with it and they lasted.
What the hell is it with some of these content creators and their SHEER LAZINESS. You did the same goofy sh*t with you other video entitled: "7 of the most durable American engines". Showing vehicles that NEVER came factory with engines being spoken about. And the music absolutely sucks too.
Stop using crappy AI voice overs. Read the damn script yourself.
I hate ai videos
😂the 3800 v6 sucks I've had 3 they all locked up😢
@derekschultz4863 maybe it's not the engine but the owner!🤔
Only way any vehicle locks up is either too much/little lubricant, running it hot or hydrolock.
@@DarrenFinley yeah sure it didn't like me or the fact that I babyed it what engine locks up or blows in mustangs .... oh yeah the 3800 v6 . No wait it was the Buick with the 3800 that I also babyed changed oil every 2500 to 3500 miles never raced never drove thru any water ... wait a second I'm defending myself against someone who I don't know
@@kuntekinte6246 probably vapor lock I took great care of it but them cars was beat before I got to them
