it’s seems everyone has gotten very heated about how useless UOA is and it’s better to just save my money so I’ll no longer be testing and posting here. Thanks for all the advice.

I've kept up with maintenance since factory and it doesn't burn any oil on 0W-20. Change oil every half a year and it stays at the full mark.

Well my plan is to finish the break in, then do a couple samples of a handful of different oils and see what happens so I’m just gonna post the data as it comes. Do what you will with it.

So comparative wear testing between oils is a waste of money because the data is inadequate is what I’m getting from everyone. Is there any approved way to do this?

So doing a bunch of tests on 0w-20 to establish a baseline then switching to 0w-30 for a bunch of tests won’t give me usable data?

At what point would you say “that looks to be done”

Well I got 3 vehicles to test on and these are my very first oil tests so I can’t make the data come out any faster. Before I joined I saw so many people talking about how they throw in 40 and 50 oils to protect their engine and how 20 and below is water. Gonna be doing long term tests on 3...

I normally do 5000km but because this car does short distance driving this reached the 6 month mark which is why it was changed. Was also my first ever used oil analysis so it was to figure out what was going on.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Limited (non-hybrid) T24A-FTS engine Mobil 1 Extended Performance Wix pro tec filter First oil sample to see if the break in is done Sort of done waiting for motor oil geek to experiment with thicker oils so I’m gonna test 0w-30 and other 0w-20 to see if more thicker...

My first post on bitog lemme know if I did something wrong 2017 Toyota RAV4 Platinum 2AR-FE engine 4.4L of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20 At 2 parts per million wear per 1000km I guess 0W-20 is more than thick enough to protect this engine
