Personally, I did not blow up any engines yet....as of today.
Going to be very difficult to come up with an engine that actually blew up because of the oil used itself. Rather it will be something else like the filter failed, the engine was low on oil, ran the oil beyond it's useable life, or some such thing. I can even see running an oil in an application it is not suited to causing the failure but that is user error not the oil's fault.
I have lost engines due to failed filters, failed mechanical parts, due to neglect( not me previous owner ), etc... Haven't lost one because the oil failed.
As long as the oil meets the spec's it claims, isn't run past it's useable life, and is in a healthy engine how does it cause a failure???
