2017 Toyota RAV4 Platinum 2AR-FE 102.8k kms; Mobil 1 EP 0w-20 3.5k kms - used oil analysis

My first post on bitog lemme know if I did something wrong

2017 Toyota RAV4 Platinum
2AR-FE engine
4.4L of Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0W-20

At 2 parts per million wear per 1000km I guess
0W-20 is more than thick enough to protect this engine

Welcome to BITOG!!!

Thanks for posting and I will look for more from you.

Looks OK, but then again, a 3500 km OCI isn't exactly a stretch for any lube, so the low numbers are to be expected.

Consider extending the OCIs out; you're wasting a lot of money dumping perfectly good oil this early. You can easily double (probably triple) your OCI next time. The whole point of UOAs is to judge the direct health of the lubricant, and indirectly infer the health of the engine. The goal is to maximize the useful life of the oil, so don't be afraid to push the OCIs out. Plenty of evidence exists to show this engine and lube can safely go much further.

I normally do 5000km but because this car does short distance driving this reached the 6 month mark which is why it was changed. Was also my first ever used oil analysis so it was to figure out what was going on.

This is a known oil burner. Not as bad as the 2AZ, but still burns. Just switch now to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30 and rest easy.

I've kept up with maintenance since factory and it doesn't burn any oil on 0W-20. Change oil every half a year and it stays at the full mark.

Yeah that's the thing about oil burning. It doesn't burn oil until it does. It takes time for piston ring deposits to develop. It's recommended to run a 30 grade oil in that engine. Good luck.
