Fuel consumption

V10 engines are typically less fuel-efficient, leading to higher fuel consumption and costs.

Spark plug wear

The increased number of cylinders means more spark plugs to maintain, which can wear out faster and cause misfiring.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The high temperatures can cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.
