Wear vs Vehicle Total Mileage
Does anyone know of any articles or data that tracks the amount of iron wear throughout the life of the vehicle?
I was only able to find this one graph, where they tracked the iron wear. Basically, what they're suggesting is that after the break-in period, the engine reaches a "prime" in terms of wear around 50k miles.
Then increases metal wear, and decreases again?
I assume that at some point down the line (maybe 250k+ miles?), there's been so much metal removed from the engine, that the oil just can't protect the gaps between moving parts (cylinder walls), and the iron wear will increase drastically.
I couldn't find any related threads on bitog (and I can't post on them yet).
Anyone have any thoughts on this, graphs, tracking their uoa's?
