Honda CRV 1.5L Engine Teardown After 30,000 Miles With No Oil Changes

Welcome to my channel, I Do Cars. Its an answer to the awkward question "So what do you do?". On my channel you'll find videos of the dumb and overzealous car projects I take on personally. You'll also find videos of getting cars running that are either wrecked, or have been sitting for a long time. There will be some how-to repair videos as well because showing people how to fix their vehicle themselves is what I love to do. Of course, you'll find engine teardown videos. Lots, and lots of engine teardown videos. One a week, at least. I own and run an auto salvage operation and part of our model is tearing down bad or core engines and selling the parts. Taking these engines apart is just another day in the office, so I'm happy to bring you along!

Video Description
What happens if you just... don't change your oil, ever? The owner of this 2018 Honda CRV found out the expensive way! Once purchased used with about 120K miles, the owner drove this car without changing the oil, EVER! They drove this car until it barely pulled itself into the driveway. Today we are tearing down the L15BE 1.5L Turbo engine from that 2018 CRV with 153K miles. So how did this engine fair in the depths of neglect? Thats what we find out as we tear this engine all the way down to see the extent of the damage caused by not changing oil.

Check out a few of my favorites! Ford 1.0 Ecoboost JUNK https://youtu.be/0yx1-50iqnA Fiat 1.4L Multi-Air teardown https://youtu.be/ypxEkt33Ytw Honda Accord K20C4 2.0 Teardown https://youtu.be/w8lSRjLB-4Y Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
