Certainly no expert, but bore scoring became an issue at about the same time as widespread long oil change intervals and DFI. Jake or Tony C. probably have data on this.

My personal mitigation:
-Use quality synthetic oil and change it every 5-6k miles.
- Use Top Tier gas whenever possible.
-Never let a car sit and idle to warm up. Get in it and drive gently to 4000 RPM only until temps are up.
- Use sport mode often when car is warm.
