Re: Change your oil by three thousand miles.
I think his reference is to the engine failure problem appears to be sludge
related. It is, of course, difficult to establish an across-the-board link
between the various engines.
I feel confidant in my 4 liter as its design is several decades old and by
its inline design is suited for torque demanding use.

Re: Change your oil by three thousand miles.
Sludge is not necessarily related to miles between oil changes. Other
contributing factors are engine oil temperature, exhaust and blowby
composition, and dust and water in the environment. Your 4.0 is reliable,
because it runs too hot for water to collect in the sump. That is probably
more important for longevity than inline design. I have seen six cylinder
inline engines caked solid with sludge, before the manufacturers figured out
they had to run hot, and before the Californians pronounced that they had to
have PCV valves.
I first noticed this in 1978. An old mechanic told me, "Short trips are
bad". It is a good mantra, if you own any vehicle more powerful than a
bicycle.
