If the guides brokes because of vibration it might make sense to use higher rpms than what automatic does when driving D/eco or comfort. So either put in S/comfort or D/Sport. At least I can feel the engine vibrating in certain speeds (i.e. 55kmh needle speed) with D/Comfort and rpms in the range of 1100-1300.

Easier to remove valve cover.
BIG JOB to remove oil pan as you need to drop the subframe.
