2024 Rav4 Prime/9100 miles/Pennzoil Platinum 0w-16 4,000 Miles/ENEOS 0w-16 4,000 Miles

[GenSan]

2024 Toyota Rav4 Prime XSE currently has 9,100 miles in 3 months.
I describe my driving style as spirited, especially on entry ramps where speed limits are 70mph.
Top Speed is 118 and gets there fairly quickly.
Vehicle returns 60-199 E MPG according to computer and worst was 29.5MPG running purely on ICE in CHARGE Mode.
I did my best to follow break-in but I definitely drove it like I stole it after 1000 miles break-in.

UOA 1: The first OC was at 800 miles and I put Pennzoil Platinum 0w-16 in with a Fram Endurance oil filter

UOA 2: Second oil change was at 4,800 miles. ENEOS ow-16 was used. No filter change.

Current fill is Idemitsu IFG-7 ow-16 and I will be doing a UOA when it accumulates 4,000 miles.
Next couple oil changes will be Amsoil 0w-16 Hybrid and Ravenol 0w-16 EFE

I will keep oil changes at 4,000 miles for the duration of ownership and don't mind moving to a 20 or 30 weight in the future after warranty expires.

All my other Toyotas/Lexus' I always changed oil at dealerships at 10,000 miles and they all made it past 200,000 miles so this is the only vehicle where I plan to DIY OC early since it is so easy to service especially with a Fumoto Valve.

I was reading the first one as if it was the first sample on this Rav4 but this was a double feature of your UOA w/first being the BS labs report. Good first trends showing. I've been doing the Fumoto valves too & are very handy as you well know. Thanks for sharing.

No Problem glad to share to the community!

I don’t understand the logic for reduced OCIs, especially if you had such great success with previous vehicles doing 10k intervals.

Nice silicon and metals drop

Current fill is Idemitsu IFG-7 ow-16

How's the engine sound with Idemitsu IFG 7? Are u planning to skip the free dealer changes at 10 and 20?

So I don't really notice any change in engine noise for the louder from the OEM TGMO, Pennzoil Platinum 0w-16, ENEOS 0w-16, and the Idemitsu IFG7 0W-16 to be honest. We have a Highlander Hybrid with the same engine and they sound similar.
Since I switched over to winter tires, the Michelin XIce Snow have a high pitched hum at certain highway speeds and surfaces that drowns out the engine noise.
Regarding the free oil changes yes I decided to just skip the freebies and DIY.

I measured my engine decibel level on cold starts with an app - valvoline vs tgmo and the valvoline was like 2 db less on the first test lol...I have to retest it tho there was airplanes and other noises that may have ruined the results.

I'm thinking of skipping the freebies too I don't want them to ruin my fumoto or over torque the filter, put in cheapo bulk oil or overfill it etc. I heard another user asked the dealer for the filter and 5 quarts of oil and a washer

Did pennzoil change their formula look at ur molyb uoa compared to this voa from last year it's like double. The other additives look similar

I'm wondering if my Moly numbers were just leftovers from the factory fill TGMO.

Ahh that may be it

Something about this vehicle I just tend to "baby" it more than the others is my story. Plus if my kids earn the rights to the keys it's theirs.
