    Might there be any preventive measures one could take to either prevent, delay or minimize this potential issue?

    It's hit or miss, that said I've seen more with overdue oil changes than not. Stay on top of oil changes, don't go over 10,000 miles. 5-8 is more ideal.

    If that’s a potential preventive measure I will be happy to oblige if it means it may reduce the probability of it happening.
