The two most at-risk components are the hydraulic tensioners and VVT cam phasers – both highly dependent on the oil supply. The engine is designed with three hydraulic tensioners as well as four VVT cam phaser and solenoid units, all of which are highly dependent on oil. Most important, though, is that debris will clog oil ports.
