Yes....
....Every four years.
Mileage is NOT the killer. It's the coolant chemically breaking down the impeller plastic over TIME.
I don't understand why this is such a big deal for people to understand.
Just install the lower temp thermostat and slap in a new OEM water pump every four years.
No. Big. Deal.
It's not a Corolla.
EVERY high performance car has "issues" like these. It's the cost of enjoying a bad ass car. Go talk to the BMW "M" crowd or the MB AMG crowd, or talk to the guys whose Corvettes have grenaded on them.
Just budget a new water pump and AOS every four years.
Simple.
