So when the vvt mechanism fails and the car is running on 4psi oil pressure, even low rpm will destroy then engine? :/

I have got a CEL twice now, P0351, so luckily a bad coil or sparkplug.

This makes me worried as an engine rebuild is not something you bargain on a car with just 30k miles.

ps. sorry for the off topic post.
Hello Semicolon and welcome to our group .......

If your car is running OK, I'd suggest you just perform the scheduled maintenance and drive it.

One can get paranoid when reading about all of the problems other people seem to be having with their cars.

If your car gets sick ...... it will show you light on the dashboard and that will lead you to a code which explains the problem.

Meanwhile, I suggest you just drive and enjoy your machine .....
