2003 Toyota Corolla:
Out - Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30/ Supertech Filter.
In- Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30/ Premium Guard Filter.
271,006 miles. About 4500 miles on this fill.
What went in was the third interval of this oil. So far to date, the oil consumption of about 3/4 to 1 qt per 5,000 remains the same. 9500 mi total on VRP. Very early on into the first interval, a startup noise after sitting was eliminated, likely due to the timing chain tensioner solenoid being dirty. Very pleased so far, hoping this or the 4th oil change will start reducing oil consumption, although I can live with it.
