I don't think the Avenger is the same as the Eclipse. The Avenger may have the same engine but the body style is COMPLETELY different.

 

I would never compare a dodge avenger to my eclipse. It would be kinda insulting.

 

I was talking about the engine. What does motor oil have to do with the body style?

 

If you didnt compare them you would simply be avoiding the facts that the Avenger engine is built by Mitsubishi and is the same one that was being put in the Eclipse in 1995.

 

why are you posting in threads that are months old???????

 

Because I dont see a rule that says I cant. Why not?

 

just as a simple point guys when a car comes from factory it already should have been broken in and rings seated.

 

I have heard that but I recall the dealer tell me to drive it easy and vary my speeds on long trips for the first 300 miles to ensure everything seated properly. He even had me sign a document saying that he informed me of this so I guess it is that serious to the dealership if not Mitsubishi in general

 

i always wondered about that. the dealer says it has 0 miles but yet how can the engine be broken in if the engine doesn't have any miles on it.

 

aww but that dose not nessasarly have to be the motor it is the car in genral sure i could have a car with 150k on it and have a new motor but cannot tough the miles that are on the car.
