Do you have a link? I couldn't find it at all?

We had a brand new 2019 Toyota Highlander that blew 2 engines in 5,500 miles. Traded it for a 2020 Highlander that tried to kill our family by tanking random hard lefts on the interstate which was confirmed by the tech but there wasn't a way to fix it. We just traded it for a Kia and have not...

Iq would use Castrol Edge EP 0W20 because it's meets MB 229.71 which is a tough euro 0W20 spec

Yeah I use Echo Red Armor and mix it with Shell Vpower Nitrous+ ethanol free

Just picked up an Echo CS-4010 to replace a CS-310 that wouldn't stop leaking oil. My dealer didn't want to sell it because they had some old ones but I told them I would buy this new one and not the old one. I got it home an oh man is this thing amazing. So much power, perfect balance and so...

What don't you like about the new formula? I have been using PP and PUP mostly since 2011. I don't like the new SP D1G3 formulation and on project farm it had the worst pour test. You can say none of the other test matter but my Mirage knocks in cold weather now and it didn't used to. I love...

No it wasn't oil related. Had mpgs drop at 2k miles. Changed the factory fill to PP 0W20. There was a lot of metal in the oil and chunks of rod bearing in the filter. About 500 miles later it started knocking. Engine was replaced under warranty at around 3k miles. The dealer did a short block...

I would recommend sticking with the grade toyota recommends. We had a 2019 Highlander 3.5L that blew two engines in the first 10k miles. That new hybrid will call for 0W-16.

Can't upload PDF so first try failed.

I got the PDS from Quaker State. It took 5 emails to get it. They claimed they didn't even know it was available until I sent photos and it's walmart exclusive.

I just posted a great UOA here about 2 months ago that included towing from PA to NE with Edge EP that I was very happy with the wear numbers on. I have M1 AFE in it now but I have been thinking about stick with Castrol because of such low wear numbers.

Yeah I agree about the filter that's why I did particle count. The Fram Ultra off my Mirage didn't look good after 1k miles. I won't be buying Fram again. Microguard Select was installed and I have another one on deck. I like your PP uoa. I might try that after the M1 AFE. What mpgs did you get...

Yeah I thought about it but those wear numbers make me unconcerned. I'm curious how it will do with a normal interval without running high boost half way across the country does.

It went from 8.2 to 7.0 but it has low wear. There is no guarantee they didn't design the engine to deal with fuel dilution. That's about what a 0W-16 oil starts at. I'm happy with the low wear metals that shows the engine wasn't harmed by the fuel in oil.

Not exactly but it was around the 25-30% range.

Yeah put on a Microguard Select. Both filters looked bad this one and a Fram ultra with 800 miles on it off my 3 cylinder beater.

It was a Fram TG12060

I always us E15 (UNL 88)

Our 2018 Equinox started dropping significant MPGs after towing a Uhaul trailer from PA to NE. When I changed the oil the filter started collapsing so I did a UOA. I'm very happy with wear numbers as during our trip we drove through a massive storm. We were only getting 12MPG with the trailer...

Yeah but from 38 to 26 isn't too far from the epa of 29 it's just unusual for ours and the way we drive
