It’s about 10 years old and 200k+ miles. I’m hoping it’s tolerance for sandpaper is ok. FWIW it’s been driven another 2-3 thousand since I found the problem.

We drive a lot. It has given no signs of problems, just wondering if there something to do or just keep rolling and doing regular oil changes.
