The truth is that most Benz and German cars comes with cast iron engine and it is more durable than aluminum...a simple physics and chemistry would tell us that aluminum isn't stronger than cast iron

One thing that makes some of the engines in Mazda, Nissan and Mitsubishi wear easily is because of aluminum engine blocks ...also the property used in .along the Pistons matters also....

I am trying to use physics! Also the maintenance and driving style matters also

Aluminum does have some drawbacks, however. As a metal, it's not as strong as iron and doesn't hold up to high levels of heat as well. Many early aluminum block engines had problems with cylinders warping, leading to concerns over durability.


End of discussion

yungboss:

Alot of German engines have aluminium block, e.g, most bmw engines. The Mercedes M272 engine block is aluminium.
I think the issue with how long an engine will last has to do more with maintenance, regardless of manufacturer.

AmuDimpka:


That was when Toyota were using cast iron to build their cars ..today they have all gone aluminum in Japan bro

AmuDimpka:
German engineering.....I still see 1978 Benz 230 flat boots around and I still see 1956 Vboots

But I can't even see 1990 Toyota whatever around


It's German engineering

The Ford and UK cars I know are 1920s, they are used to haul water from Lagos water corporation in ikoyi infront of ikoyi club, anybody living or passing that area can attest.

I was at UDO in Edo state last week and a certain truck for hauling logs of wood I am certain is an 1800 vehicle, it is red in color I don't know the make but that vehicle plenty there.Toyota dyna too

There are 1950s Nissan atlas along Abeokuta Iseyin road, Honda sef no carry last alot of 1970 Civic and 70s accord in kaduna and Kano There are a lot of extremely old cars in Nigeria only when you travel often would your mouth be agape at seeing history in real life.

There are even very clean Benz W140 in the north park there with no use in villages.

Toyotas have the most fragile engines.
Small abuse,kaput.
1 in every 5 Camry or Corolla has had an engine or transmission change or rebuild
