1st analysis on the Sequoia 4.7l. She's been quite well behaved. no major repairs. Always had M1 from 5000 miles. roughly 6000mi OCI's. Always used Fram filters.

Blackstone recommends trying 9500 miles.

Wow. Looks awesome.

Very nice. Call me overly cautious but I would try 8500 miles and see how it looks.

Awesome insolubles.

Clevy: It says "Fram Ultra".

OP:

Very nice results.

That's a 10k mile sample all day, Blackstone is cautious. Making me like my Fram Ultras even more and more with the super low insolubles rating; you hardly ever see a Trace rating in a UOA!

Are you going to use the FU for two intervals?

 

[rberndt]

Thanks all.

Now that I have some data, yes I'm hooked and will be doing a follow up UOA @ ~10k.

I have a 2011 Lexus 460L that has the same engine block as the Sequoia, but it uses 0w-20, and has a 9qt capacity. I'm presently using M1. I hear good things about the Toyota 0w-20, but am too lazy to run to the dealership.

I'm anxious to see how that 0w-20 oil holds up - I'm still doing 5k intervals, as that motor only has 27k miles on it. The wife idles it an hour a day while picking up the kids from school.

It says TR for insolubles - what's that mean ?

That UOA would be interesting considering idling.
Just as prevention, I would go with 0W30 M1 or 5W30 M1.
