    Not unless the oil pump is faulty.

      There have been a few threads on this - have a search around in here.

      Some will say you must, some won't. I nearly did last year - I'm on 116k, but chose not to and dealt with suspension instead.

      I think I'm in the 'it would've gone bang by now' camp, and hope my general cosseting is enough to keep it safe.

        one option is to do a used oil analysis to check for excess lead in the oil. If it is there in large quantity, and / or increases over time then this is bearing shell wear.
