I imagine that's a good thing but I'd never run an oil even half that length of time. Most people I've spoken with outside of this forum think the oci is more of an issue than clearance, but who knows? That doesn't explain why some engines have issues very soon after being put into service.

Exactly my point in a few post before. There is no definitive answer to this issue. Hence all the more reason to enjoy the car than worry about
what may be.
I am no expert on anything when it comes to cars. This forum and the DIY section has educated me a lot. In fact my car hasn't seen the dealer since it came out of warranty. I do my oil changes, including the spark plug change. Hoping to do the TVA replacement soon. Money in my pocket is better than someone else's.
