Wear is not an issue with modern engines and lubricants. Tests have been done on vehicles that have done 500,000 miles and the power output is the same as when the engine was new.Ran Transits for years never had a serious problem with any of them must have had 20+ vans over the years when they did break they were cheap and easy to repair parts were easy to get not too bad on fuel either. We have one that won’t die it’s a 2010 done over 350,000 miles still works hard every day and runs great. Secret fresh oil and filters
The key, as you say, is to change the oil and filter frequently (within reason). The cost is insignificant compared to the huge costs of an engine rebuild or replacement. Or worse still scrapping the vehicle and buying a new replacement.
