That's a stretch, it's certainly not going to cause engine failure, but it's also not any better than a maintainer.

Actually, no it isn't. UoA's show that running the car for short periods without warming it fully and driving it for at least 1/2 hour or so tend to break down the oil fairly quickly and load it with contaminents. Use a maintainer and leave it sit for the winter, your car will thank you for it...........

As for the Aventador, well that is overkill....
