Just did oil change yesterday. 190,920 on odometer.
Out: Castrol Edge 0w40 5 quarts.
In: some HPL SAE 30 EC engine cleaner concentrate 1 quart and 4 quarts Edge 0w40. Left the ancient Allied Signal Tough Guard 4967 on

Fed Ex came this morning with 6 bottles of the engine cleaner. Half went to my brother for use in the boat.

Oil filters will be hand-delivered 53' Stude right around the time the sun goes down.
I'm honestly looking forward to see what the inside of these things looks like.

I grabbed two quarts from @The Critic last night while I paid him a visit for a car audio install. My debate is which car to use this stuff on:
Car A: 2009 Prius, it saw MMO and Neutra flushes when oil consumption was becoming an issue. VPBR wasn’t the miracle oil it was cracked up to be. I did a piston soak with B12 Chemtool and BMW Top Engine/fuel system cleaner - freed up all but cylinder 3. Oil consumption is at .5qt/3000 miles. 183K on the clock, IIRC. Currently on Shell Rotella T6 MV 5W-30 with a 0W-20 top off.
Car B: 2019 Lexus RX450h. Uses no oil. Car will see Uber service and is racking up lots of miles. Currently at 17K. Next OCI at 20K. Current fill is Vavoline Advanced 0W-20, will be M1EP or CEEP at next OCI.

Nice Lexus. Actually.. both your cars.
I feel like a jerk because I didn't have a bottle HPL EC or else I would have gave one to 53' Stude.
The Lexus I planned on using BG EPR at the 30K mark as preventative maintenance. The Prius is due for an oil change in 800 miles. I might have use these two as Guinea pigs.Nice Lexus. Actually.. both your cars.

What about 2 back to back treatments on the prius?

I always get BG EPR and MOA confused, both are supposed to be very good, is the maintenance history good or bad?
I have 6 quarts of the engine cleaner, no worriesNice Lexus. Actually.. both your cars.

EPR is their flush. MOA is their additive. Both cars were maintained by me. The Prius is my DD. The Lexus saw dealer service as a CPO(it was a former loaner). I did two OCIs on it. One with Chevron Havoline ProDS Lifelong 0W-20 at 10k, the most recent one at 15K.

53' Stude has begun to cut open the filters.
I don't think he got to the Supertech and Fram ones yet (1st and 2nd with thousands of miles of EC, probably about 5000 and 5000 each, I drive 1000+ miles every time I jump in the car on a weekend and 1000+ on the way back, so, if it's been on there a couple of weeks then....)
Remember, I visited HPL New Year's Eve and I will absolutely buy products from them again.
I'd rather spend the money on the gas than the shipping.
A decent percentage of my budget is for putting gas in the tank. So I make that work for me.

Can we get a map showing all of this?
You've mentioned that so often how could we forget?

Could be an idea. I have a “low-SAPS” HDEO in it now(Rotella T6 MV 5W-30, Detroit Diesel 93K222/218 and Mercedes 228.51 approved) so the benefits might be moot.
