That's a lower TBN than I would've expected. Kind of makes me wish I'd done UOAs earlier in my engine's life, out of curiosity, to see if the early OCIs were harder on the oil.
I see the Toyota engines are still a bit hard on oil.
No need to push this oil. It's inexpensive enough.
Much different numbers than are seen in this VOA http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1170861#Post1170861
If your UOA is indicative of current additive levels in Motorcraft 5W-20, I'm even more impressed with Motorcraft.

Not sure
I hope this does better than this after some more miles on engine after all it's a partial synthetic.
I could go 7000+ with even cheaper Shell formula 5W-30 oil in the last car and 3.0 V6 Honda. TBN = 0.9
I'm a little disappointed in the low TBN
The scary part is I'm at 9,100 OCI mile in my '08 Honda Fit and the Mileage Monitor still says 30%.... I do a lot of engine off gliding (P&G w/ FAS) so it's not 9,100 miles with eng running. I plan to let it eat till 15%, per owner manual and than test it and post results for all to look at.

to keep warranty work with TOYOTA need to change oil / filter every 5,000 miles or less . Also , if 5,000 miles not accumulated in 6 months , needs to be changed . There's a booklet that came with the CAMRY that explains the different warranties and what needs to be done to keep it . Keep all receipts for oil and filter , along with the dates they were performed . This includes air filter , etc..
The TBN looks pretty similar to other conventional oils on 'extended drains' here...
