So my sample pump blew a seal when drawing a sample & I decided to just do an oil change instead of waiting for new seals or new pump. Wife short tripped this interval for the entire duration with maybe a single decent highway run so I was curious how it would turn out. Looks like 10k OCI even city driving will not be a problem with this oil/engine combination.

Looks good. Any make up oil?
No. No makeup oil
How many miles on the vehicle?
Yes, stock. Also only runs top tier 91 octane. 90% of the time is Chevron, rest is Exxon, Shell, etc...
It's been a very reliable car overall. About 190k on it. Was purchased as a CPO with about 20k on the clock. Wouldn't be nervous about a cross-country drive at all.
About 190k

Nice. When I sold mine, it had like 130k I think. Got it at like 70k. 98% of that was tuned. zero issues in that time.
So is this line of product kind of like the ExxonMobil EP line just with better ingredients and a higher total Base number and stuff like that?
It’s the “base model” PCMO from HPL. Group 3 & 5 base oils & their “cost effective” add pack that seems to work great. I just didn’t see the need for the higher end HPL offerings since there’s no fuel dilution. This car has had services between 5-10k its entire life & I’ll start pushing out to 10k again with this oil even with the excessive city driving
Thank you for the quick reply. I think this is something I need to look into once my oil around here is depleted. I will have to wait till they have a special on shipping as I will probably buy 24 to 48 quarts at a time to make it worth my time
I picked up several gallons during a sale last year. Same thought

we push the PCMO to 12k in the work fleet and the results have come back good. could probably push to 15k if we really wanted to. we buy it by the drum. i push the PCMO to 12k in the 03 accord in my sig. will probably do a UOA on my truck at 8k and determine if i can get 10-12k out of it. their baseline oil is incredible.
