Well all I know is mine failed. Prior to the failure my shop told me my used oil filters and magnetic drain plug were always clean of debris at each oil change and without going through my records I would say that my oil changes were every 5,000 -7,000 miles at most. My oil was always changed at least once a year and always after 2 track events, and always with Mobil 1. In one of my other threads on this topic, someone said ceramic ball bearings in steel races are a bad idea, and I think there is some merit to that. The ceramic balls are much harder than the steel races. Since the bearing is open and relies on splash lubrication, if there are any foreign particles in the oil and they get into the bearing races the ceramic balls are just going to grind them into the races until a failure occurs.
