Jake if you're reading, why is there a time limit on the retrofit, my car is a bit of a garage queen doing only 5000km/yr. I have your oil filter adapter & magnetic sump plug fitted, I also have a FilterMag installed & change the oil each 9 months with DT40. (I know you recommend 6 monthly, but I compromised between my normal 12 months). Seems to me under these conditions my new ceramic bearing should outlive the original?

Thats exactly what I was thinking. If after the recommended dual row bearing swap at 6 years, I would have done 20000 miles on the bearings,will they still need to be changed?
