Good evening oilheads. Here are my lastest results. This fill of PP 0W20 is the same oil from the last UOA plus another 2,800 miles or so. Took the sample via a fumoto valve after draining about 1.5 qts. Although I did refill with PP 0W20 again, I'm leaning towards a Pennzoil Euro for the next fill... no other reason other than being a little curious. Still got to do a little more research though.
Discovered I had used the wrong sized K&N filter in the cannister when I changed the oil last; the filter was too long and it twisted to fit when I screwed on the cannister housing. Here it sits next to the Purolator I was about to use, also too long. Ended up with a Fram Titanium FS9972, that was all Advance Auto had in stock, pictured next to the K&N I replaced. Felt like such a newbie... It was the first time I had changed oil while using a cannister filter, so used a little elbow grease to install the K&N filter. But the twist did not seem to compromise the oil performance...
Feedback anyone? Recommendations on a Euro oil to use?
