That wasn't a story it was personal experience.
Aaaaand I'm done.
Lets hope so.

This thread is about dispelling common myths, not pointing out isolated EXTREME cases. UOA is cheap, easy and gives far more info than a visible inspection. Ignorance is not doing a UOA.

For your boat example, the owner might have caught it at 75 hrs if he did an oil change, or might have missed it if visible particles were not evident. The owner might have caught it if he did a UOA at 25, 50, or 75 hrs even if visible particles were not evident.
