the larger oil capacity extends the useful life of the oil because of sheer volumn. it also promotes cooler more temperature stable running by providing additional heat sink area in the oil. and the oil cooler complements it all.

it all adds up and contributes to the overall competence of engineering that results in very long engine life.
