How do you know it's severe? Without seeing UOA's from other Toyota Hybrids at a similar amount of mileage this could be within average ranges.

Follow up to my first post. This oil was drawn from the dipstick and was in service for 2 months. Based on the first report I made a conscious effort to take more highway trips using the ICE trying to bring it up to and sustain the engine at an ideal operating temperature. My driving style...

As part of the ongoing monitoring of my fuel dilution issues in my 2021 Toyota Sienna Hybrid with the A25A-FXS motor (original thread) I contacted a Canadian lab for analysis and they offered me a VOA of the Mobil1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w16 I had used in my last oil change. I'll post the UOA...
