There are plenty of oil cooled turbos that have lived a long time...The early SVO mustangs and GT-turbos came with oil cooled turbos and I personally have driven 3 that still have the original turbo after 20 years and 150k-200k miles. Regular oil changes and cooldowns after driving will keep any turbo alive a long time; oil cooled or water cooled.
