Hi Ruairidh

If car is .010 taper and lip never removed it must be considerable. Perhaps a bout of high revs on the overrun overloaded the ring land.
If the mains lasted 60,000 something is working well. My father used to replace one or all about every two years, less than 10,000!
What API rating is claimed for the 20W/50?
