- Hey Scotty will the new Honda accords with the 2.0T engine be reliable? I just traded in a 2014 Audi A4 with almost 97k miles for a brand new 2021 accord with that engine and I was hoping it’ll last me a while even with a turbo thanks.
Nobody knows
Jury is out on the longevity of that engine along with the 10-speed automatic transmission, but still good/wise move getting rid of that Audi. The 2.0L has less oil dilution issues than the 1.5L, but nevertheless to mitigate the issue be sure to change the oil every 5,000 miles (max) using the GF-6 oil. Also, see here for more tips to mitigate oil dilution on the Accord:

And be sure to stay on top of the transmission fluid change intervals.

the 1.5l honda engine is same engine from honda fit they been using for decades now just has a turbo. use the newer 0w16 oil every 5k and youll be fine.
the vw/audi is total garbage money pit. good upgrade
