That's what most indeed think, unfortunately they think incorrectly. While I personally believe the issue is overblown and not quite as serious as a lot of people think, some are seeing a 60k mile change of the bearings necessary maintenance. Like I said, just research it a bit, you'll find out all you need to know. Just be sure to always allow this engine to get up to temp before winding it out. That's OIL temp, not the flashy orange lights on the tachometer.
