Sometimes parts go bad. And the best way to find out if that's the case is regular inspection and that includes inspecting your oil and filter. This is especially true if you abuse your motor and spinning up into VTech isn't the only form of abuse that warrants frequent oil changes and inspection.
First of all, Tolerancing is most definitely a word. Just because spellcheck says no, doesn't mean it's not.

Second, the only way to check the condition of oil is to perform a Used Oil Analysis, not by looking at it. I bet if you did one, the analysis will say your oil will have plenty of life left at 5,000km.

Lastly, VTech is not a word, it's a brand of phone
