Quite a test of this oil, it was in service from Dec 17 until Jun 20 or 2 1/2 years. A lot of life got in the way on this run. Was driven very little for about a year while deployed. 1/2 qt added at 10k mi. Used a Fram XG 3614, will be cutting open soon. Refilled with same oil and filter...

Oil was in service from Dec 2016 to Dec 2017. Drove more than last year, same usage patterns. Filter is a Fram Ultra XG3614, and based on these results I am sticking with this combo for the duration of my ownership of this vehicle, very happy with these results. Oil filter C&P here ...

This Fram XG3614 was used on a 2008 Toyota 4 Runner with the 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8. It was ran for 1 year and 18,027 mi with Mobil 1 EP 5W-30. Based on my UOA results I am sticking with this combo for 1 yr/15-20k mi. UOA posted here .

Finally got around to cutting (hacking really) this filter open. It is oversized for my application and I noted nothing out of the ordinary. UOA for this run is here. Filter: M1-209 Oil: Mobil 1 EP 5W-30 OCI: 16,400 mi Application: 2008 Toyota 4 Runner V8 (2UZ-FE)

Oil was in service from Oct 2015 until Dec 2016, utilizing a M1 EP (M1-209) filter. Mix of hwy and city miles, mostly hwy with lots of trips over mountain passes. I replaced with more Mobil 1 EP 5W-30 and a Fram Ultra (3614) filter. I last had a UOA done by both Blackstone/OAI labs (here) at the...

I decided for curiosity to send a sample to OAI AND Blackstone. This one has thrown me for a loop with the high Na. First a bit of history on the vehicle. My ex gf wrecked my old 4R and I found this one with 40,6XX mi on it. At 40,720 miles I changed the oil to M1 EP 5W-30 and installed a...

UOA from Blackstone on my 07 4Runner 4x4 V8. This is from last year, I changed the oil out before I deployed so I didnt get the most use out of it. I have a 48 mile daily commute with about 10 miles of stop and go each way. I stock up on a few years worth when AZ has the 5qts + M1 filter deal so...

I am bored so I was digging around in the garage and found these 2 filters. We all know the PureOne. The Denso (Thai) was one I ordered from someplace online in hopes of getting a 90015-20004 filter, I was disappointed in the end but this one does appear to be a bit better constructed than a...

I searched via Google and couldnt find a teardown thread and I thought this would get the most traffic in here. These were posted on a 4Runner forum and I thought they might interest you guys. It was said this 3RZ-FE has 184k mi and had been fed M1+OEM filters every 4-5K since 15K mi. No other...

This is my first UOA on this vehicle. I work/live in Va Beach right next to the ocean. Ran the oil for about 9 months, about 75% city driving, and when I am on base I make alot of trips that are very short (

Hey guys! Very interesting site here Got my first UOA done. Compared to some others my readings look good. After looking at others reports, I think my next will be with Blackstone, OAI report just does not look as good to me. So on to the goods, during this run of oil I installed a few things...
