Your logic is flawed, as usual.

The failure to change engine oil on a timely basis will increase wear in the engine. Eventually, the compression will be too low to reliably start. This won't be considered an "engine failure" per-se and it won't appear on your list.

So, although you'll get a few posts regarding various engine failures, the lack of the capability to link those failures to OCI is not meaningful.

And, I'm quite sure you already know this.

Be careful on what you post on this thread...........I won't permit more of your trolling.
