Even then you can have issues. I'm a 5k miles / 1 year / whichever comes first person. I still ended up getting a new Valvetronic motor & eccentric shaft replaced. Only 29k miles on the car (2011). I have started to wonder if I actually drive it too infrequently because at least every other trip in it I make sure to drive 20 - 30 minutes to get it fully warmed up (no milky oil from lots of short trips).
