Amsoil SSO 0-30w, 18.7k miles on the oil, 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4.0 L V6
This is the 2nd time/yr I've run SSO 0-30w in this vehicle which now has 72k miles on it. I put about 18k miles a yr on it. Sump capacity: 6 qts. No makeup oil. It doesn't use any.
Oil was in service for 12 mths and 18,700 miles, full flow filter was a Ea015, Topdog V(no magnets) bypass system w/EaBP90 filter, air filter EaA238 was new at the beginning of this run. I changed spark plugs mid-way thru this run.

Blackstone Lab Comments: "Thanks for the note about the new by-pass filter. Universal averages show typical wear levels for this
type of engine after about 5,400 miles on the oil. This oil has been in use longer than that, but wear metals
still compare well with averages. Potassium, silicon, and sodium can show coolant, but that's unlikely.
Potassium and silicon could be harmless sealant used to install the filter. Sodium is probably residual
additive from a previous oil. The TBN was 1.9 showing some active additive left; less than 1.0 is too low.
Keep this oil in use and check back in 2,000 miles."
I'm gonna change the oil now w/6 qts of Amsoil AZO 0-30w and a Mobil 1-301 full flow
The air filter will remain un-touched, but I'll look for leaks
I'll leave the same bypass filter in place for another yr
Overall, I'm pleased, but I'd like to get the silicon down some.

WHAT DO YAWL THINK?
PS: I also sent a sample to OIL ANALYZERS INC. and will post those results when I get them.
