Replacing the oil (and filter) every 2 years as you are currently doing is not the ideal way of prelonging the IMS bearing, whether its a single row or a double row design.
In a cold damp climate like you live in and driving only on "sunny Chicago summer days" it would be beneficial and well worth the $$ to replace the oil + filter at least annually.
