2.7 Engine
I posted a question about the potential timing chain problem with the 2.7
engine. I only had one response. What is the experience that others on this board has had? Has it been a reliable engine? Why does consumer magazine zing it? Also, the MSN auto webpage talks about the timing chain problems. I would think others on this board would have some imput concerning this engine. Thanks to any and all that give me some imput. |

The manual specifies oils with a specific certification. This oil is designed for "High shear strength" needed for the metal timing gears. Some oils meeting this is the new line of Mobil extended service non-synthetics. This same oil is used in the VW diesels, etc.. If you use the right spec and observe proper change intervals, there is no "problem". |
