Ideling?

Nope. VooDoos are port-injected only... which I'd have liked on my Coyote too . But those have dual cam VVT; our Coyotes only on the intake. But with so many cam phaser problems, maybe that was a good thing. Ha ha.

Are you sure about this for Gen-3 Coyote engine?

I said VOODOOs, not Coyotes; different engines. Of course Gen3 Coyotes have both injections.

Stop and go falls under “severe duty” use in relation to maintenance schedules if I’m not mistaken.

At idle you’re wasting the power the engine makes and leaving from a stop takes extra effort to get all that mass moving. The clutch, flywheel
and throwout bearing see a lot of action in stop/go for a manual trans car and the torque converter takes all the heat on an auto car.

2020 owner's manual calls out extensive idleing as severe duty (pg.407 & 404). Pg.404 indicates that extensive ideling shortens the timer on when the change oil light comes on.
