Oil was in service from Dec 2016 to Dec 2017. Drove more than last year, same usage patterns.
Filter is a Fram Ultra XG3614, and based on these results I am sticking with this combo for the duration of my ownership of this vehicle, very happy with these results.
Oil filter C&P here .
Depending on this OCI I may run to 20k. Last report here, values on left are last run of 16,400 mi and values on the right are this run of 18,027 miles.

Nice report! I would stick with that combo for sure.
Really nice report and thanks for sharing it. Do you mostly do highway driving or short trips in stop n go traffic too?
Mostly highway miles, though I have a 16 mi city commute 5 days a week with 2-3 short (<.5 mi) trips on base every couple days.
Usually drive to the mountains every weekend so over the passes and usually USFS roads.
Last UOA was with M1-209 filter, sure looks like the Fram has it beat at about half the cost.
SUPER report. Don't change a thing!!!!

Kudos for running an OCI out past the typical BITOG fear limit!
Wear very low. Contamination low. Characteristics all in range. What's not to like?
I'd stretch to 20k and see how it fares. Likely will be just fine. (I assume this is the 4.7L Toy engine? Good engine overall)
Interesting that the second OCI had a top-off, but the additives seemed lower despite the kick of more oil. Not that anything detrimental happened; just an observation.

With use like that and the numbers to back it up, I'd be on a yearly OCI and forget about the miles.
Just my thoughts
Excellent!
Low "wear metals", decent flash (do we know the VOA flash on this oil?), insols good, strong ending viscosity. Great results!

M1 EP TBN tends to decrease slowly toward the end of it's life. I would not do such intervals without TAN.
Very nice, thanks for posting.
Was this latest UOA from 5w-30 EP Dexos 1 Gen 2 and the first from EP Dexos 1 Gen 1?
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year.
I dont know for sure, it was gold cap EP with "Dexos 1" symbol on the front. I usually buy 2-3 OCIs worth of stuff at once so it was bought maybe 1-2 years ago from WM.
