Prefer xw-20, the engine doesn't get as loud at high RPM and sounds healthier. Changing at 5k too, mostly city though.
Cam,valve train, timing chain?But where? The_Critic indicates oil burning, which I'd think was ring related. But engines these days don't seem to wear the cross-hatch very much--rings might lose tension and/or get stuck. Neither of which is wear related.
You don’t know that.Some just won’t be able to accept that this oil/filter combo is doing its job.
Sure thing palYou don’t know that.
It is Used Oil Analysis, NOT Used Engine Analysis.
Rings, timing chain guides etc. You have no idea how is that affected and it is not purpose of UOA.
It is sure thing. I agree.Sure thing pal
True, although those would not contribute to the oil burning complaint.Cam,valve train, timing chain?
That's my vehicle. In Jan of 22 I changed oil to 5w20 Mobil 1. Its 14th UOA will happen sometime in 2023.13th UOA, 07 Toyota 4.0L, Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5w30, 10k miles on oil
The reason I do used oil analysis and extended oil changes is: 1) I find it interesting; 2) so we might learn something? This ti13th UOA, 07 Toyota 4.0L, Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5w30, 10k milesme I sent a sample to both Oil Analyzers Inc and Blackstone Labs. Vehicle, a 2007 Toyota 2wd FJ Cruiser...bobistheoilguy.com
FYI, here is a post of a engine with extended drain intervals at over 200k now with no oil consumption between changes.
The Toyota maintenance package still follows their maintenance schedule, which is 10k OCI's.This is what Toyota thinks of 10k OCI...They provide it for Toyota care to make the maintenance costs low for them and you... but when they sell you Toyota Care Plus maintenance package they change it every 5k...go figure.
This wasn't my experience, but I also didn't buy the package my girlfriend did. Maybe they overcharged her. I looked at the paperwork and oil was changed at 5k intervals until 45k miles accumulated, no extra payment. I did the last 2 OCI also at 5k.The Toyota maintenance package still follows their maintenance schedule, which is 10k OCI's.
If you want 5K OCI's after the Toyota CAR and during the maintenance package, you pay out of pocket.
Luckily, the dealership that services my car has a 3-oil change/tire rotation package for $149.99 plus tax.

Here are my thoughts on your report:This is a nice report for a great engine. Used a Fram Ultra filter, an 8 month interval with 60% highway, 40%city and short trips. For all the too thin naysayers and 5k with synthetic oil changers, this report hopefully will open some eyes. Toyota factory recommended oil change interval of 10k, 1 year seems to work great for my application. Not trying to start a war here but maybe with some more results like these, the 10k interval will become more accepted. Thanks
So your saying the free Toyota Genuine Motor Oil the dealer was putting in for the first 30K clogged the piston drain holes and the M1 just couldn't overcome the damage done by that TGMO swill?Let's see if it starts consuming oil by the 100K mark if you maintain these intervals.
I had a customer with a 2018 where M1 0W-16 was used at 10-11K intervals since the 30K oil change. 100 mi/day commutes. By the 80K mark, it was consuming about 1 qt every 10K.
only if the customer brought it in to the stealership for oil changes. Me i did mine at 4200 and put m1 5w-30 ep in it. Texas summer.10k oil changes on 0W-16? Would anyone want to buy a used car if original owner did that. I certantly wouldn't. Luckily carfax's show the date/mileage of each oil change, so these kinds of cars can prudently be avoided in the used car market.
What is difference between your oil temperatures in summer compared to winter so you need 5W30?only if the customer brought it in to the stealership for oil changes. Me i did mine at 4200 and put m1 5w-30 ep in it. Texas summer.
its 100 deg F out regularly in the day. In winter i might run 0w-20, winter is for about 2 months it can get down to 40 or so. but its dam 85/90 at night right now.What is difference between your oil temperatures in summer compared to winter so you need 5W30?
