Enjoy and welcome. I'd check the oil every 1000 miles.

You can say that about everything, what if your tire blows out when you are doing 80mph without warning. $hit happens, I am sure the failure rate on the OMP is a lot lower than people gunking up their engine due to all the oil. I just don't think it is worth it, money and time can be used on doing all maintanence and keeping hte car in good running shape.
