on paper they do last 30 000km between oil changes I know, but in reality they do not, but that is part of what the car makes want, the engines last until warranty is out...

if someone buys a new engine to keep driving the car that only has a broken engine but otherwise is in good condition they get profit...it is how stuff works today, just like constant computer box updates etc
