You must be young. You realize up to the early 80s a car was considered junk once it hit 100,000 miles. These vehicles that easily go 2-300k with little maintenance are a newer phenomenon. Even still the mindset still carries over which is why most cars take a huge depreciation hit once they hit 100,000 miles.

Never said its filtration but it is another part in the oil filter. I dont think the problem arises from extending oil changes by 2,000 miles. I think its oil drain back when it should not be. Which is why the rattle generally comes after sitting for a while. So it would be an oil filter issue not holding pressure back.
The phasers have a new part number so they must have gone through a revision update from when the trucks were first manufactured. Actually, a lot of the parts involved have gone through revision updates.
