Ultimately, “ensuring you have a strong preventive maintenance program is No. 1,” Mason said. He also cited sampling programs, in which used fluids are tested, as an effective practice. Most manufacturers offer some level of lab testing on oil and coolant fluids, Mason said. “That’s cheap insurance,” and can sometimes provide an advance signal of potential problems.

You don’t have to live in the Corn Belt to deal with E10. Many states have E10 mandates and that can have effects outside of the state’s boarders due to the way the distribution system works. I live in WA state but thanks to OR’s E10 mandate 100% gasoline is very difficult to find. The two state’s petroleum industries are linked by pipeline and that has made it easier and cheaper for them standardize producing and introducing into the pipeline only sub-octane gas intended to be blended into E10 to have the proper octane.

These tiny little econo-boxes came to save the ozone layer from our reckless abandon, and maybe drive some sense into our motoring habits. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, the tiny car fell short. They tend to get passed around as people get bored of them. This effectively turns the 500 into a massive, poorly-maintained hot potato – just waiting to burst in your lap as you get sacked with cross-fluid-contamination, head gaskets, radiators; you name it…the works.

Not only that, the fuel savings due to engine design that eliminates the ability to self clean, or clean with additives, causes maintenance costing many times the differential in fuel mileage gained? All to show some fuel economy number in advertising.

I’ve not seen any 9-speed issues, yet. We’ve done some ATF drain and fills (which concern me, honestly), but I’m fairly sure we haven’t swapped any of them. Compared to my early days of doing an early 00s V6 AT every other week, this “problem” doesn’t really seem to be one, at this point.

Lets not forget the 2017-19 CRV gas in oil problems plus the low to no heat issues These problems are costing Honda a bundle for the fix that doesn’t work

Old school batch fire injection systems used to spray gas on the back of a closed valve but in modern Sequential fuel injection systems in most cases the fuel is only injected with the valve is open. At higher loads the length of the required fuel injection pulse can exceed the amount of time that the valve is open so they will start the injection event before the intake valve opens.
