Interesting that the '06 engine has failed.. We are just starting to see the "new" IMS bearings beginning to fail and it would be interesting to know if thats what your failure is.

BUT get a second opinion by someone that believes in repairing these engines. Lots of things that "down" an engine at the dealership are actually repairable with a little bit of innovation and elbow grease.. Problem is most dealershios just want to do oil changes and engine swaps.

BTW- With certain failures the frequency of service and how well an engine is cared for simply do not matter... Changing the oil in the engine doesn't ever impact the lubrication of the IMS bearing..
