As a degreed and licensed (just EIT, no PE here) mechanical engineer who spent a few years involved in automotive durability testing, I can say with confidence that I have no freaking idea. We never got into that. We always just followed the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for the duty cycle we were testing to and documented and corrected the failures on the test article as they occurred.
