It has to be this parking ticket I got at 1 Maritime Plaza in San Francisco. I parked and ran up the stairs to the lobby to pick up rush documents from the security guard that needed to be delivered as soon as possible. It was 2:14 am. I got back to my vehicle at 2:19 am. It seems there was a...

In my view, this is one of the select few vehicles with which it is wise to do what you did with. Elements are durable by design. I am eyeballing HRV, with similar basic mpg's but seemingly durable too...Hybrid to NA ?

Nobody is gonna tell me I can't have my slug o' moly !

Are you actually saying that HPL Euro (and HPL No VII) should not be used, with 2024 technology in play ? Lots of moly. Also lots of calcium. I am gonna guess that 2024 HPL Euro (and No VII) is nothing like the oil that was tested in 2014.

To answer the question asked in the thread title, it is because the "knowledgeable folks" are actually knowledgeable about the specifics involved.

Once a year, preferably in the Fall. Durable oil filter.

Based upon extensive relevant personal experience, you should be fine with any of the 0W16's Idemitsu, Pennzoil Platinum or Ravenol EFE. I used EFE in a 2012 PriusC with several ~10k mi OCIs. I used PP in a 2019 Lexus UX 250h for a little while, again with ~10k mi OCIs (same engine series as...
