Changed my oil today for the first time since I got the car. The car has 103k miles on it with a Tiptronic transmission. I found no metal of any kind in the filter and it made me wonder if Tiptronic trans equipped cars are less susceptible to IMS failure since they don't redline the tach. Thinking maybe over revs on a manual trans cause the IMS problems?

Mine just failed at about 52000 miles. I bought it with 23000 on it. Since I've owned it I've driven it in manual mode to avoid lugging it around.
