e-tec...you really going to have the discipline to drop the drain plug or filter every 625 miles?

And no one I know has ever said exactly what the interval is between the beginning of detectable symptoms and the total failure point. We do know of at least one case where the car was on its trip to get the oil changed and filter checked when it blew.

We do know of several stories of people where the detector detected and at least one case where the detector was ignored and the IMS failed taking the engine with it. Considering there are only about 500 installed, that isn't a bad credibility history.
