On the other side of the coin there are others that go much longer without issue. It feels a bit like the lottery with these motors.

Luck of the lottery is exactly what I was thinking. Have seen 2.5s with 300,000+ running like New and others being replaced at 130,000 just not much of the 08+
Way I'm looking at it is, the cost of a motor will be less then the price to buy any other on the net
