I did my oil with new filters at 2,500 and made a collar of strong magnets from a dollar store dog collar and fitted it on the oil housing. Result? dead engine 32,000. In general I still believe in frequent oil changes but the m96 seems to be like a pull on a slot machine, how many miles are in her? Only the oddsmakers and fate can say. One of my friends said it blew because I drove it on occasion to red line, yet in these blogs there are people who have tracked their cars and never had a problem..Besides I drove all my sports cars over 30 years to redline on occasion, only one engine blew.vegas baby, it's like vegas.
