I had a customer that lost track of time and came in way over due for his oil change. Turns out he went 21,500 miles on AMSOIL OE 5w-30 in his 2005 Tundra 4.7 v8. Here are the pictures.

Oil was sent off to Blackstone. Should hear back by the end of this week.

My thoughts exactly. Good thing he was at least running a higher tier oil for that run.

Sounds like he was short on $$$$$ not time.
Thanks
Thanks
does not look like it has all those miles... Looks good from the pictures.
It was the 8th of June last year when I changed it the last time. So it has been over a year.
Well, we know he added a nice golden hue to his varnish inside the engine.

Wonder if he added a quart or two over that OCI? Might explain why the oil color doesn't look too bad for 21.5K miles.

That looks really good for 21k! Wix makes awesome filters!
I wonder if Wix filters can compare to Fram ultras. This is the 2nd Wix that has been run for ~20K miles and still held up. Maybe it was running in mostly bypass mode for the last ~5k miles?

Not really ... two different media types, so they will perform differently under the same conditions, the full synthetic being better.

I asked him if he added any oil and he said no. The oil level was down about 3/4qt.
