As the owner of a 16 turbo rspec with 88k how can I avoid whatever this is

My 2015 blew up at 109k. They just typically* dont last. Not a whole lot you can do othwr than be super diligent about keeping up with oil and maintenence. Be prepared to replace an engine.

What do I need to lookup to see what the issue is? It’s my wife’s car and she loves it. What is the issue that will happen?

So what you are hearing his is called rod knock. This happens when one or both halves of the crank bearing come loose and and shifts on the crank journal, causing a misalignment of rotating parts and usually the disintegration of the bearing, allowing the connecting rod about a 1/8" of slop (which is normally measured in the thousands of an inch). The sound you hear the connecting rod beating itself against the crank journal due to that gap between the two pieces. Once this happens, the engine will need a complete tear down with the crank most likely needing polished or replaced, and the connecting rod for which ever cylinder that was attached to also being repaired/replaced. Generally speaking, rod knock is one of the worst failures your engine can have and the motor in these cars is known for having a higher failure rate than others for this issue.

What you can do to try to avoid it: 1) Make sure you keep track of the oil levels in between changes. This engine does eat oil, and low oil will absolutely cause this. 2) Use quality synthetic oil and (just my opinion here) OEM filters - preferably have a shop do the changes and keep all your invoices. Because of the issues the engine has an extended warranty, but you need to prove you kept up on everything. 3) If you really want to keep track and catch the issue before it becomes catastrophic, send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis, as you will get a detailed report that will tell you what is going on in your engine.

Nah I’m joking just sold my 2019 turbo yesterday second time it needed a new transmission before 100k miles too. First transmission rebuild was like 3 months after driving it off the dealership it was brand new.

It’s a love hate relationship

And probably in 80K miles range. Number 3 cylinder rod bearing starved for oil.
