That sounds about verbatim what I had read, I'm not well versed on oil cooling for motors so I explained it very poorly.
And yes that is my understanding that failures were marginal more common when the motor was a new power plant but now it's get it see legs so to speak and is very robust
I had a chance to see the torn down motor and there was no obvious heat stress damage to any of the other parts, but yeah it could be a combination of several things
Yeah I only mentioned it because that is the loaner I have, and the interior feels so cheap, and funny enough when my dad's SUV was in for repairs after someone hit it, the loaner the insurance company gave him was the gmc equvil you mentioned, but it's a very small for a midsize SUV and my dads SUV was a full size Lexus and they considered that a comprobal vehicle. Like the Camaro feels like a BMW or Merc, the Travers and Arcadia feel like plastic knockoffs
