[precurse]

I've had my BRZ's used oil analyzed done for years and haven't had any concerns come up at all.

Then last year I had the recall work done. I was worried about the outcome if it hadn't, since I already had put it off. It's been barely over 3000KM since I had the work done (I haven't driven much during the pandemic), and then I had a full rod failure yesterday. Total mileage is ~86,000KM. I had it towed to shop that performed the recall, and they're telling me this has nothing to do with the recall work because they have an "easy process to replace the valve springs".

I was quoted $8000CDN (best case), or $13000 worst case to fix this. Sigh.
