Longevity depends on design and maintenance. Engineers can design a fantastic engine and have owners kill it by neglecting maintenance or performing maintenance incorrectly. Turbo engines require good synthetic oil, of the proper weight and specification, changed at the proper interval.

A lot of diesel owners kill their diesel particulate filters by using the wrong oil.
