Au contraire - I suspect the same psycology that compels folks to leave the oil in their vehicles till they've maxed out it's engineering capabilities also applies to how long they own their vehicles. I'm a long OCI'r and I'm loath to give up my vehciles till I've wrung the life out of them. My best friend is a strict one year OCI'r, and he sold his last two vehicles at close to 350k miles and 300k miles.

This hasn't been done exactly as you state here, but Amsoil, Mobil 1 etal have done and I'm sure are doing extensive testing on the long OCI paradigm (complete with tear downs, etc). Does not Porsche have a 2 yr 20k mile OCI on some of their vehicles. Are Porsches being dumped off in sorry shape a few years later to their next owners?
