I wonder too. Especially since I blocked the breathers. Kinda wonder if they are full of milky oil foam and detergent.

3K on the T4, and 5K on the T6. The oil itself is probably fine for longer but old habits ya know.

These are not pressure systems like a car engine with close tolerance crank bushings. These run roller bearings and are volume based lubrication systems. Don't sweat it at all, she's getting oil.
