Could be because they don't turn the RPMs we turn in the NA cars.

could be, but the 03-04's rev out to 6500rpm. its not THAT much lower.
:lol::lol::lol:they don't typically run high revs for a sustained period of time because the torque comes much lower.
:lol::lol::lol:A lot goes on in that extra 250-500 rpms. Crank is turning faster, timing chains are turning faster, oil pump is turning faster, etc.
Heres your proof right here since your so smart...
I had a oil pressure guage line crack, lost some oil (maybe 2 quarts). Checked the oil it was low after the car had cooled for a little while after I fixed the line. Put some oil in and ran the car, checked the dipstick after adding 1 quart and it heating up and it read right in the middle. Drove the car for about an hour it started ticking/knocking. Checked my oil and nothing read on the dipstick at all.
Keep in mind before this happened I had just changed my oil and put in just under 7 quarts.
I thought it was lifters. Changed them and nothing. Tore the motor down and found 5 spun rod bearings and metal shavings everywhere. This was with I'd say at least 6 quarts of oil in the car when it happened.
ah, the expert of all experts reappears.
Hey numb nuts, what do you think happens at high rpms. Bingo, the oil pump turns faster, which pumps more oil to the heads, which can't drain fast enough, which results in less oil in the sump.
The fact that the aluminum block also moves around more than an iron block could also be a reason for the spun bearings.
