The main thing he is seeing on the ones he has replaced is poor maintenance. When I say poor maintenance, I mean lack of oil, not changing the oil at recommended intervals.

Funny you should mention your Hyundai Tech friend. I also hsve a Hyundai Technician friend. (Dealership was once a Chrysler Hyundai dealer but now only Hyundai). He told me the same thing. Owners not changing oil or checking oil level. He also told me that Hyundai still honors the warranty. That shocked me.
BTW. My Hyundai Tech is the best. I trust him implicitly. I drive 30 miles to his dealership vice closer dealerships.
Absolutely the same thing I've heard from my dealership Service Tech. Soccer moms and dad extending out to yearly (15k +) OC with dealer bulk conventional QSAD.
I use QS as an example only because Hyundai and Shell have a contractual agreement that QS is the dealer fill.
