Count me as one of those clowns. #3 spun at about 84K miles. The car is known to not produce much oil pressure (all years). Add to that the packing related problems on the early 2013s and your bound to have failures.

Obviously the majority of them haven't failed but it's FAR from just 3 people. There are registry threads similar to this one for bearing failures on early 2013s.

The bottom line is this engine can't afford even the slightest restriction of oil flow.
