Quick answer for that is no.
But then again, I think 15K between oil change is to much on any M-engine.
That will always depend on the use though.

Anyway, those above-mentioned engines were considered "over engineered" if they lasted much more then one race, (200 miles). But of course, F1 racing is a bit harder life for an engine than most M-engines have to put up with

Point is, what was possible in racing from the 80`s is often possible in to days
production cars. Going for 1000hp/ltr might be a little high though
