One of the bigger things that people worry about is VO sneaking past the rings while the engine is cold and getting into the crankcase oil. When that happens, its only a short time before the engine oil polymerizes into muck and you lose lubrication. Short engine life after that.

Just make sure to stay on top of your oil changes, and its probably a good idea to send a sample to Blackstone for analysis every so often, then you'll know if you have to worry about your engine oil or not.
