Why isn't "number of engine revolutions" a metric tracked by your car?
I feel like it makes more sense than miles in terms of engine wear.
>>
selling my FERD F150 only 94596112394850586868116923e3 revs no lowballing I know what I got

Engine on hours and idling hours are a proxy for this. But yeah, there should be some sort of way to track instances of high load/high revs. Vehicles with launch control tend to come with internal counters so you can see how many times it was launched but you either need a scan tool or dealer software to access it

It would incentivize lugging
>>
>100k miles at 65 mph = 1538.5 hours = 92307.7 minutes
>2000 rpm average * 92307.7 min = 184,615,384.6 engine revolutions for 100k miles of highway driving
Is that right? Seems low to me.
>>
>>28929608
Sounds right.
It just makes much more sense to measure engine revs than "transmission output shaft revs" you know what im sayin
>>
>>28929572
Running hours is a better metric

Hello red"dit retard

>>28929633
not OP but dunno why you think this is a gotcha; that pic has been floating around the interwebs for years. it'd be more unusual if it didn't appear on reddit at this point
>>
Idg why all engines dont go by hours.

Youre on the right track but hours is the industrial standard.
>>
>>28929572
Actually the total amount of fuel burned would be a good measurement - it tracks idling hours and goes up significantly when using full power.
But people lie...
>>
>>28929572
i don't mean to brag. but my van will do 4,500 engine revolutions in a minute.
but my bike (one of them) 19,500.
>>
>>28929806
>19,500
RD500?

TT/OT is pretty much the standard outside of the automotive realm.
I still get people asking "what mileage should I change my oil" on a tractor though.
