Probably the best bet is to plan to change every 50K or so. Now, when I do this again at 100K, I'll check for wear and if the new BE bearings solve the problem, then maybe I won't do it again until 200K.  By then, we'll probably all be driving batteries with wheels.

Thank you SaltyNC,
i'm at 65K miles and have not performed an oil analysis....I have scheduled an oil change for this month (Mar 2018) and have received the Blackstone sample bottle - I'll post an update.
Love your description of the future....it's happening. Formula E continues to make the news, and there is some quiet dialogue that Formula 1 will become an electric powered series in the early 2020's....
