With a full sump of oil on level ground the IMSB is submerged in oil at least 1/3 of its circumference. This is why low mileage cars die early deaths with extended oil service intervals. The oil thats laden with elevated acid levels attacks the seal, hardens it and starts killing the bearing with a stage 1 failure.

Then comes corrosive wear.
