Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

What is that in? Is it diesel? Why does it look like many qts between the low dot/hole and the cross hatch?

this was right after a change, so it had not all flowed into the filter

Give me E.F.I.

So how are these older GDI's passing emissions test at 80K with this much blow-by.

its not blow by, its soot from unburned fuel. with direct injection fuel droplets can make it into the cylinder and get burned before they evaporate, and since you cant get air mixed into a droplet like you can with a vapor it makes soot. this is also why diesels smoke sometimes, too much fuel and it's not vaporized

Unburned fuel is even worse at emissions testing time.

it's not unburned (like running rich) its partially burned, if that makes any sense. and because its a solid instead of a gas some machines don't measure it

Blood can change in viscosity though.. thinning from blood thinners or thicken a lot from very high blood glucose levels…

Just my observation but people on blood thinners I have noticed their blood did not have a normal regular red color to it. It was typically a little bit lighter vs say my blood which I don’t take warfarin.

Just how many bleeding people are you coming across that you're seeing trends?

22 CT5V 3.0TT, Right on about 4k miles on oil (5w30 M1EP, UPF63R filter), 27k miles on engine.

It would show dead on full on flat ground, this is normal for my driveway. Uses no oil between changes,

Well its up to just over 4800 miles and getting dirtier. Not sure if I'll swap at 5k or just after. Depends on timing and weather.

2016 Avalon. 147,000 miles, 5,000 miles on the Pennzoil Ultra 5W30. No oil usage, stock OE filter. Will let this run to 10,000 miles. Color doesn’t darken nearly as quickly as it did when I used Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 a few months ago. Less oil usage too. But the Amsoil did great in analysis on a 12,000 mile run.
