Calculated all entries from today, except those with no # of months.
Thanks for the input guys. Very surprising there's no reported problems yet.
For those whom havn't reported, or didn't post # of months installed, feel free to post yours and I will continue to update.
EDIT
Posted a simple pie chart too. Forgot to include the 2 17%'s. Will fix tomorrow.

19% - 12 months/11k miles - no problems.
Note: had a SEL (lean fault code occuring on hwy. at cruising speed) apparently due to modded BPV. Went back to stock BPV spring & installed VGS. Now all is good.
I don't know if the SEL incident would have occured on an otherwise stock motor.

15% - 25 months, 19% - 7 months with no problems for either. I’m curious; why time over distance as an evaluation of service life?
