This topic makes me wonder if you can discern the sound of a less 50K mile or over 100K, 200K, 300K, etc. engine (assuming all had regular oil changes and are frequently driven).
That would be a great YouTube video montage.

Yes, that's one of our forum members who doesn't post very often. He had no idea what the IMS was. But before this leads to a false sense of confidence about the IMS, he maintained a strict dealer maintenance routine and drove the car every day, it did not sit for long obviously.
Two culprits of IMSB, oil starvation (as in insufficient lubrication) and oil contamination were mitigated through proper maintenance and driving.
