this is true your oil will need changing because of the contamination.
when i was in the navy (oh great here he goes) the submarine i was on
had the original gear oil in that it had when it was built. every six

in there untill the day the sub is decomissioned. it still lubricates.
it is the foriegn particles that cause wear.
