Thread: Black Death is the SR20's problem in a lot of cases

According to this site:
http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html

No, i would say that overrevving and lack of maintenance is.

ATTN: Covert Russian check this out, and check his engine out

But, thats what black death is, if you don't change the oil and such...its bassicly just crap oil not changed enough and overheated.

Yup, but that would be driver error , not engine failure because of design.

Leave that to Chrysler with their crappy 2.7L V6 paper weight.

Yes sir, saw that last night, stayed up to 3am reading articles about it.

is that the motor in the previous sebring convertible by chance... ?

I dunno, but here's the list it came in.

this was an awesome web site and good find. Thanks

You did not read the article fully did you?
Failure of design is the cause of black death in a lot of cases. May not necessarily be the case in the SR20, but in Automatic G20's it sure is. Overrevving? I think UNDERREVVING is a cause for concern as well. Thats called Lugging the motor.
