I had mine replaced at 105k. My blackstone reports were always clean but in reality all the top bearings were absolutely toast.

I did mine at 60kish.
It was in for other work, so while I was at it had em done. Only slight wear on one bearing, 08 3rd owner. I've had it since 36k and about 3 years.

Just to put some perspective it seams Mercedes openly admits that their super cars. With F1 derived engine needs crankshaft and turbo replacements as part of regular maintenance every 31,000 miles.
http://jalopnik.com/mercedes-will-gi...r-3-1793185285 I know the mercedes supercar is in a completely different league than the S65 motor however there are some similarities - high rpm redline - both designed as race engines and put into street cars - tight clearances Would be interesting to see what is the exact wear in the the Mercedes motor that causes the crankshaft to be replaced which essentially means a new motor every 31,000 miles as part of its maintenance interval. |

Our motors are high revving by passenger car standards but they can still go 100,000+ miles without grenading itself which is far more than the 31,000 miles in that F1 motor for the street |

"The McLaren spokesperson says the company doesn’t have specific records on engine life of the P1, but that there’s a P1 that belonged to the McLaren press fleet while the car was still being manufactured. The car, McLaren says, has over 50,000 “seriously abusive” miles on it—and the “seriously abusive” part can definitely be expected from a press car—and that it is still “going strong with no major engine work beyond regular services.” |

Every youtube M3 rod bearing replacement video shows normal wear bearings being replaced by non-experts installing after market parts. Or we have Joe Schmo from NJ recommending 5w40 oil based on his interpretation of the BMW ad where they're driving in the snow "where it's real cold" "so you need thinner oil" then later on in another video he gets told to use 10w60 by a euro car mechanic 🤣 it's a side street garage scam, with too many clueless muppets chiming in. Stop modding the engine, leave the car alone.

Your opinion is not shared with others more knowledgeable and with more experience than you.
Tell us what qualifies you to make such a claim with no proof or logical explanation against well respected people in the field. Why should we believe you? |

Mechanic in my area (Bryan College Station TX) laughed and refused to do the service even after reviewing thread. I have 63000 miles on my 08 and post update when I encounter a failure. Wish me luck💪

Exactly. There's cars out there with 140k on them with no bearing issue, that tells me this isn't a design flaw. Ppl are being scammed by YouTube videos. The only time you see uneven/excessive wear on the front baring for example is when someone has been 'modding' again, supercharging 'mods'.
