the key to this was Limo-driver.
Just like the commercials say, 90 % of engine wear occurs on start up. When the car starts the oil is all sitting in the bottom of the oil pan, and it is not warm. As the engine starts turning the oil gets spray up into the rest of the engine by the oil pump, but that occurs after the engine starts turning. There is usually a thin coating of oil on the metal, but the oil's lubrication ability breaks down with use and age.
This is why sometimes you will see "highway miles" on vehicles for sale with high miles. Highway miles are much easier than stop and, on and off driving.
If a limo driver drives 3000 miles in a week, he probably started the car 7 times, where as I will drive 3000 miles over months and start the car 1000 times. But I only drive a couple of miles per trip, So I am at the other extreme.
No matter what, regular maintenance even on my car will not yield the same results as regular maintenance on his. Mine will wear out much sooner.
