Default 3 blown motors in Houston!?!? I wonder if it's a heat issue like with our turbos?

We're not the K04 Capitol of America for no reason, ya know? I also noticed those were all November build dates and the motors grenaded recently, probably toward the end of the new extended fill cycles manufacturers are pushing for motor oil. I wonder if that may have contributed?
