Sure, I understand a bearing progressing to other 'stages' of failure is BAD.
What I meant was, if the IMS gets oil, like the OPs was full of, why would it fail? Yes, the older the oil gets, the steeper the positive slope gets on the probability of failure curve, but hypothetically if the bearing gets some fresh oil now and then, how long would it be 'fine' in 'stage 2' failure?? Thats what I'm wondering..
