Sure that isn't a dealer accessory designed to lighten your wallet?

When road tripping last winter went through Reno wow that was a shock and not in a good way. Lots of Indian casinos around here these days the better ones are staying very busy. In the old days Las Vegas and Reno were the places to go for gambling out west, these days not so much. When I see all...

The moly and boron seem low and off from other UOA i've looked at for valvoline R&P. Was there some make up oil in the mix?

Whataburger is good but only been to 2 in Texas when on the road. None near me. The best drive in chain to me is Raising Cane's chicken fingers. They do a good job.

I would just use Valvoline Restore & Protect oil and call it good

Somewhere I saw where QS said QS Ultimate Durability uses a GTL base oil I think it was on QS website.

Don't really know for sure but I can tell you my 2007 Corvette 24K just started weeping a little the last few years. I change the oil once a year. Just went from Mobil syn to valvoline synthetic high mileage to see what it does.

I'm no Motorcraft filter fan at all. But that filter looks like your oil pump bypass valve stuck closed temporarily. Debris in oil can cause this. I would cut that oil filter open and have a looksee. What engine is this?

That is also what I like to do.

I see what the problem is,,,,,no crocs. :LOL: Never seen a pressure washer do that.

You might check this out. He shows the issue.

I think you're overthinking it. Just drive it. Toyota's ECVT is on a different level than a normal CVT for longevity.

Give it a try.

Aluminium case steel plug? Heat gun low setting a bit of time than your 1 Lb hammer a bit on the 8mm scoket than try.

I would send it back.
