Oh just use your “cradduck codd” to pay for it


I try to get 10-15 years out of starter

My understanding is it doesn’t use the starter. It fires off whatever piston is at TDC. To me a bigger concern would be a lack of oil pressure/drain back at every stop sign. Either the engineers have that problem figured out or are willing to trade the decreased longevity for increased fuel economy.

That's a good point regarding oil pressure. What about turbo cooling given that so many new vehicles of all sizes and fuel types are getting turbos?
