Enjoy and welcome. I'd check the oil every 1000 miles.

You can also try using Lube Control FP60 gas additive.

You can say that about everything, what if your tire blows out when you are doing 80mph without warning. $hit happens, I am sure the failure rate on the OMP is a lot lower than people gunking up their engine due to all the oil. I just don't think it is worth it, money and time can be used on doing all maintanence and keeping hte car in good running shape.
