I question this as an inherent issue with these motors - my car has 64,000 miles now, I ordered it and got it in Jan 2017. It had it's first oil change @ 1,200 miles, and then at 2,500 miles, since then it's been every 5,000 miles. I changed the gearbox fluid @ 20,000 miles and again @ 40,000 miles then 60,000 miles. Differential fluid has been changed every 30,000 miles. The coolant has been flushed and changed @ 40,000 miles.
I recently got back from a 2500 mile road trip where I spent a week flogging it at Deal Gap and other roads in the Smoky mountains. My car burns no oil, Blackstone analysis is good nothing out of the ordinary, it also does not smoke. While I might be over doing the preventative maintenance - I firmly believe many people do the extended fluid changes, especially oil or do not let the engine oil get up to temp before flogging it, or even use cheap oil. I don't think it's as simple as the motors as flawed.
