Have always run vehicles bone stock & have always gotten long service lives out of them.
My view is that the R&D people who design engines have far more resourses & much more knowledge than me. They design engines with the best combination for overall durability & performance. Get more performance, the lifespan & durability goes down. Ask anyone who races. The maintenance is constant, & expensive, to keep the performance level high. Durability & reliability goes out the window.
Use better than OEM filters. Perform OEM maintenance. Do not abuse the vehicle & it will last a long long time without major issues.
