Well, why do you assume that rings would wear at the same rate as bearings?
What if a defective oil filter was installed just prior to the big trip, and
all the bearings got trashed because the oil wasn't getting filtered. Perhaps
the rings, which are splash lubricated, were spared?

zero at hot idle, didn't like that so changed the oil to my buy in bulk
