EcoTEC when?

>>15831325
What are you asking? It's been a thing since 02 forced induction since 05. It's s solid engine too.

Back in the Cavalier days in the late 90's when they had EcoTec 2.4 liter engine options. Even the 2016 Malibu Limited has a 2.5L normally aspirated EcoTec engine.

The cavalier didn't have ecotec until 02 and it was a 2.2, at least in the US. I'm not sure what the Canadian 03+ z24 had. My understanding is it's just a rebadged LS.

In the mid 90s in the land of opel.

Mostly a marketing thing as they also put it onto the 2.0 turbos and the shitty pig heavy 2.5 v6 we got.

10 years ago? My mom had a shitty 2006 Opel with a 1.3L "Ecotec".

About 13 years ago, OP

I have an "ecotec" on my "Saturn" Astra XR 2008, it's comfy

>>15831325
Since the greatest amount of engine wear occurs when engines start up, doesn't EcoTec mean the engines wear out sooner as they get a LOT MORE stop and start cycles each day?

>>15832496
That's not what ecotec is.

>>15831325
Opel/Ecotec team does make fairly good but not-advanced engines

>>15832008
Ecotec has been in cars since the Corsa B.
First ones were unreliable as shit.
