Asked by Mark Jan 22, 2016 at 11:21 PM about the 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited

Question type: General

Many engines today are higher compression than years ago,  but,  what is really
high compression?    I've read that 12 to 1 or higher engines don't last as long
as those with 10 to 1 or lower?    Is that true?

Thanks, so, 10 to 1 compression is average by today's standards?
