Picked up: (3) 5 qt jugs of M1 ESP 0W-30 for the Tundra (6) 1 qt squeeze packs of Amsoil ATF for the first ATF change on the Tundra 6 quarts of M1 15W-50 for the hydro fluid change on my Cub Cadet

I’ve been interested in trying ESP and figured I might as well start trending it in my engine to see how it will perform. I can’t say that I’ve looked for Mobil Super. I have considered trying Valvoline EP in 5W-30 as well. Thank you! Hopefully the new engine lasts and has any bugs worked out...

Here’s the second oil change on the new engine from my Tundra. Total vehicle mileage was 36,102 miles. It looks like break-in is going well, silicon definitely had a large drop on this change. Thanks for taking a look and any thoughts are welcome!

2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/6L80. Just completed the 2nd drain & fill using my Mityvac. I did one a week ago with AC Delco Dex-VI. This D&F I used one quart of the Delco fluid I had left and 4 quarts of Valvoline Dex-VI. I’m almost certain these were the first fluid changes that my company...

That’s a fair point. I am glad that Toyota is making it right and opted for a complete long block swap. Who knows if the old engine would have had issues but it was running fine when I took it in.

2022 Toyota Tundra w/3.4TT I-Force. The engine has 3,711 miles on it, 2,914 miles on this OCI. 36,102 total miles on the truck. I took an oil sample to mail to Speediagnostix and continue trending break-in on the new engine. Out: Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP Off: Toyota 90915-10010 filter In: Mobil 1...

Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 replaced this FF. I’ll see how it trends but I was planning on 5k OCI’s with ESP. Then again the bug to try something else might get me at some point 😄

2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.3 V6 w/153,850 miles. OCI: 4,150 miles and 120 hours. OLM was at 32% Out: Valvoline R&P 5W-30 and A/C Delco PF-63 In: Valvoline R&P 5W-30 and Microguard MSL10255

That could be on the moly levels, these blocks shipped from the factory with oil so who knows when the oil was produced but I was happy to see it. This replacement was for the recall, and the old engine was running fine/hadn’t displayed any signs of issues beforehand. I debated back and forth on...

Hey all, this UOA was the factory fill w/795 miles from a new long block installed in my Tundra earlier this month. I thought I had read that TGMO had reduced the moly content, but at least this sample still had high levels which was surprising/nice to see.

Finally cut open the filter element and there definitely was some break-in material.

Cub Cadet XT3 w/ Kohler Command Pro CH680. 306.1 hours on the machine and 65 hrs/one year on this OCI. Out/Off: 2 quarts Amsoil Small Engine 10W-40 and Fram FS3614 In/On: 2 quarts Amsoil Small Engine 10W-40 and Fram FS3614

I have the cartridge/element wrapped in paper towels to dry out and can post that once I get it cut. As far as the recall and Toyota I’m cautiously optimistic and happy that Toyota is addressing the issue. Hopefully they’ll expand the recall to cover the folks that have the iForce Max/hybrid...

Murky, thanks for comment! They are still made by Denso, but I believe a couple different origins. The 10010 is made in Japan. I’m not sure what I think of the cartridge in a can style but overall it seems to be a quality filter and I like the fact that it has a silicone anti-drain back valve...
