I own a 2022 honda pilot and have heard the cylinder deactivation can cause engine damage. I don't want to void my warranty by bypassing that with aftermarket product. What parts are vulnerable to damage? Can this problem be resolved with more frequent oil changes? I have always over changed my oil. Mobil 1 every 3500 miles. Please advise. I want this to last longer than my 2003 Saturn Ion that has 340,000 miles on it and is still running strong.
The parts that are vulnerable are the lifters and camshaft that have the cylinder deactivation. Those would have to be replaced and the ECU would need to be retuned. Oil changes won't do much difference.
