It is a good analogy but not an exact analogy. It is because most WVO users experiment with WVO when the car is 20+ years old with 1000s of miles on the clock. So a lot of the time it is not the WVO that kills the car, but other pre-existing conditions. Exactly what happened to the OP.

It is like smoking when one is at 40+, the pre-existing kills due to diabetic, high blood pressure or others.
