Just have to wait and see. I remember with the EJ and Mobil 1 5w30 spun bearing issues there were virtually no AT that blew. But the 4eat had no manual mode. The AT in the twins has a manual mode so far easier to hit higher rpm’s on purpose or by accident.

And then there were people who used dyno oil 5w30 and went 200k miles of hard driving on an EJ, so who knows.
