Does this mean, my ZTR lawn mower can do a 300hr filter change using a Fram Ultra XG3614 filter?

Looks great especially for the high mileage on the vehicle. Those Toyotas must be built pretty good! Thanks for the C&P.

Hopefully it goes another 60,000 miles. Shooting for 400,000 on the original engine. At only about 10,000 miles a year it will take me 6 years to get there. But the engine so far has been fantastic for the 85,000 miles I've put on it, knock on wood.

It almost looks edible. Like a chocolate covered pastry or something. Every one of these I've seen so far leaves me scratching my head thinking" I dunno how biu that thing looks fine still".

I was also impressed with how well the filter held up. Although a little disappointed by the high insoluables which I've had pretty much this engine's entire life with me. The only thing I can figure is the high insoluables are due to blow by and are far too fine to be filtered out by a full flow filter.

Many fleet users go by hours, which is actually a more precise measure than mileage.

You might be a good candidate for the microgreen

The insoluables is a pretty useless UOA parameter to judge the filter's performance. Need an ISO particle count.

In my experience with PC on Automotive UOA it's always "dirty" even on vehicles with low insoluables like my former ES330 Lexus which showed a better PC with a cheap no name filter than a Fram Ultra. Seems to be a fools errand to use them on something that is so dirty compared to a sealed lube system like a hydraulic system. I'm not concerned and I'll likely continue with 5k changes on the old 4Runner.

That's entirely possible, but due to the cost associated with the PC and not really getting the info I desired I probably won't continue with the PC.

I don't actually know, but I do know that adding TAN and PC over a Blackstone analysis with TBN doubled the cost of the analysis. I'm curious and the UOA thing is a hobby but I'm not DOUBLE THE PRICE curious.
