There is no oil where they claim it in the cylinder on Japanese engines, otherwise they would be burning oil (and they don't). At least not for the first 300,000kms or so. If the fuel can ever burn the oil, that's a really bad thing.

Also the article claim about the power steering pump is completely wrong, as the pump runs no matter the speed or load of the pump; it will just pressure-relief through the pumps internal relief valve.
