Re: newbie :-)
No, it's not true
There are about a million threads on that subject, worth a read

Re: newbie :-)

Re: newbie :-)
They can easily last longer than 60,000 but you must keep on top of the servicing promptly,
especially the oil + filter change.
(Roadster engines generally last longer and have a small oil cooler fitted which 42 engines don't
hence the advice about oil changes)
Before I inadvertently start an arguement there are other factors involved
