Starting to build a nice trend here. Nothing stands out; the way a UOA should be on Toyota engines. I drive mostly highway so I do not expect any changes going forward. But I need to remember to buy the same oils and keep them in the garage. I see the yellow bottles and think I have enough oil on the shelf for a change, then I have to mix PP with PUP. I filled this time with 5.5 qts of PUP 5W20 and 0.8 qts PP 5W30. Here's the data to put you all to sleep:

Typically excellent 2GR UOA.
Boring; in a good way.

Looks good for almost 10k on it. Have you considered Ultra Platinum?

I would prefer to use PUP but it is not always available when I'm buying oil. I buy for 3 cars, and I try for Euro L for the Civic and 0W20 or 5W20 for the other two; if PUP is not available, I just buy the PP. I typically end up mixing the PUP with the PP to use up my oil stash.

Thanks, I Understand that. I was just curious & Ultra can be hit or miss on availability.

Out of curiosity, before the oc what is the oil level on the dip stick?

Don't remember the oil level on the dipstick. I don't check the dipstick the day of the change, but intermittently during the interval. If it was low at anytime, I would have topped it off. Doubt it's burning oil.
