One electrical problem while it was under factory warranty and one warped front brake rotor.

I don't really like those cannister oil filters. I replace every composite one with the metal alloy version. And I still don't like them.

You mean a cartridge filter? Canister is same as a spin-on.
Yeah, and I still don't like them. The mighty Toyota apparantly didn't either cuz they are now spin-on...
2001 Toyota Tundra w/ 204,436mi.
Out: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30, PIAA Twin Power + Magnet Oil filter Z2-M. 2,877mi/8 months on oil.
In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30, NAPA Gold 1348 Oil filter.
Since this truck gets driven about 3,000mi/yr I might be doing once a year oil change intervals on this truck. Work truck that ain't seeing that much work unfortunately.
Pulled a oil sample for a used oil analysis to see the general health on the engine.

Had a jug of Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 hanging around in the garage when I bought it on sale in November, so decided to use that before buying a new gallon. Still running 5k OCI.

Nice choice of OCI and oil. I do 5k OCI with Supertech High Mileage Full Synthetic in all my vehicles.

I’m not so sure about that. I think 10k intervals with Amsoil would yield better results than 5k intervals with Kirkland. The engine will stay cleaner inside with Amsoil. And you spend half the amount of time underneath the car too.

How can we actually state this as fact? 5k mile intervals on Kirkland may be totally fine and well under the limitations of what it's disperant package can handle. We don't know that Amsoil for twice as long would keep the engine cleaner unless we bench tested two of his engines under his operating conditions side by side and then tore them down.
