Here are two reports from the the old standby 2003 Camry with the 1MZ-FE V6.
The first is at approx 200,000 miles with 5,000 miles on Mobil 1 5w-30 EP. This report is from April 2015.
The second report is for the same vehicle. We've made it up to 260,000 mi and this run was approx 10,000 miles of Mobil 1 5w-30 High Mileage.

Both are rather boring and predictable. Just the way I like.

I have no idea.
I don't know the value it started from.
 
Very good metal wear rates at 10k miles.

No, it hasn't thickened at pds KV100*C of 12.1 cSt.

I would speculate the used oil could have gone on for another few thousand miles.

Thanks for sharing, btw.
 
^^^ You're thinking of M1 ESP Formula 5w30 which has a viscosity of 12.1 cst, this is M1 5w30 EP, which has a starting viscosity of 10.6 cst at 100c

Oops, thank you for correction, my bad.
 
OP here.
1/2 quart makeup added in the recent 10k run.
This interval consisted of approx 50/50 city/highway.
We took a vacation this summer, approx 2500 mi driving.
This vehicle is primarily used by the teenagers to get around town and to shuttle the oldest to State U.

Patman, the 10k miles sample was actually M1 5W30 HM with pds KV100C at 12.1 cSt which was correctly quoted .
EP was for 5k sample, which I wasn't referring to.
 
Oops, my bad! As an aside, it's a bit disappointing that M1 5w30 HM shares the same viscosity at 100c as M1 ESP Formula 5w30, but has a much lower HTHS of 3.1, vs 3.58.
