It is even more of a stretch to think he would look you in the eye and say "Yes, we will maintain all computerized service tooling and still be doing flash upgrades and providing new control modules 20 years after the date of production"

You really expect to own one of these 20 years in?

I don't disagree with you on the benefits of changing the differential oil prior to 20 years, but I just wonder how relevent it will be.
