@fantastic just posted the UOA on the perspective forum. Just giving you the heads up as you were interested. Regards.

Got my UOA back for my Prius Prime. Being a PHEV I doubt it even had 6000km on the oil. Boron was low OA claimed. However lots of TBN left and wear metals to my untrained eye don’t look to bad. Comments and insights always appreciated.

Oddly enough I noticed that when I drained it... it had a strange red hue to it... was wondering if it cleaned up some varnish, from lack of use, or created some, from lack of use lol. I sent a sample off for analysis. But yes I did notice it. But the engine still sounds fine, and not like I am...

Amsoil SS 0W-20

It was Amsoil SS 0w-20 and that filter out, and Castrol Edge EP 0W-20 and a Toyota OEM 90915-YZZN1. Gotta say though probably placebo and no slight to Amsoil, as I still have purchased more of their Oil and it's on deck. However that lil 1.8L 2ZR-FXE sure sounds like it likes this oil... seems...

Might I ask what it was these helped disprove you on? Just out of curiosity.

Still perfecting how to take good pictures without getting oil on my phone. They definitely aren’t to the standards others have set here but I tried my best lol. Out of my Prius Prime 2018 10022KM and 10.5 months on the filter. However it being a PHEV it’s hard to judge how many KM actually ran...

Thank you kindly!

2018 Toyota Prius Prime. 10022KM on Oil in the sump for 10 months 2 weeks. Also being a PHEV I doubt the oil even had 6000KM on it. Out 4.2L Amsoil SS 0w-20 and an Amsoil EA15k09 In 4.2L Castrol Edge EP 0w-20 and an OEM YZZN1 The jug was on my shelf a while. 28 months. SP rated but Dexos Gen...

Wow I am no expert, but that is not what I expected to see. I thought it'd be much worse.

So promised a coworker I’d do his oil change. Got him some Amsoil and a filter. Finally got a nice stretch of weather to do it. It was 18000km past it’s oil change reminder… but we won’t talk about that… 2019 Dodge Durango with the 3.6L 147,660 KM on Odo Out less of then 4QTs of unknown oil...

Did not use HPL, That last run was Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX 0W-30, I just filled it for the summer with Amsoil OE 5W-30.

That 4L was a the fresh fill it actually takes 4.2 but they don't take decimals. As for this 6200KM run about 500-600ml Top Up Added Guess I inputted fields wrong... sorry guys did NOT Burn 4L in 6200 KM just 500ml sorry for the confusion.

EDIT! I inputted fields WRONG DID NOT Burn 4L in 6200KM, only burned 500-600ML MY BAD! Sorry This is the first ever UOA for this older car. 322,602KM on the odo. I’m no expert but it looks pretty decent. Any insights BITOG fam? Silicon might be higher because I changed the engine air filter...

Just had a great Easter afternoon before dinner. Did my misses 2010 Corolla with the 1.8L 2ZR-FE. Great family run about and commuter. She’s been a remarkably reliable car. An alternator and a CV axle is all that’s been replaced. Mind you pretty sure I have a condenser leak so that will be in...

Oil @ Autozone. Filters and Techron, @ Walmart.

Well managed to go over the line south into the wonderous USA. OFAD (Oil & Filter Acquisition Disorder) struck again. I bought all things you can’t find in Canada. 2x Techron Fuel System Cleaner 4x FE4967 for the Prius. 1x FE10295 for the Tundra (wish they had a few more all they had) 2x...

I have all three. I'd be lying if I said I was using them frequently. However they work great in tight spaces and feel well bit. Time will tell for their durability.

My dealer in Canada has only had SP for sale for at least a year. Maybe longer. It’s not a new standard. I think the part number stayed the same however.
