Moral of the story, change the oil at least 2x as often as the service interval with good oil so that they don't get gummed up, and drive hard enough that the cam actuators have to do some work.

I heard that as well. This one comes with indication that those have been worked on at the dealer so they are hopefully new. Oil intervals are rather horrible, something like 2000 miles with "top up" in-between. I am planning to change every 7000 miles.
I heard that sticky cam phasing actuators can be "shocked" loose by applying 12V to them briefly...
