Gulf and Gulf Western are two totally different companies. Gulf Western is Australian-owned and all their oils are made in Sydney, Australia.

‘21 BMW X3MC
Out - 0w30 BMW TPT (assuming the dealer used it…
In - 0w30 Motul Specific LL-01FE
Kind of got the heebie jeebies when I found a quart of 0w20 in the trunk, which the vehicle does not call for. Did not change filter as it only has 3k on it. Did not reset maintenance minder and will do full change with filter when that says it is due in another seven months or so, which will be about 4k more driving.

I suspect it was probably from all the break in material and assembly lube. I will monitor the oil next time around for color.

A gripe with HPL...the containers. The 1 gal containers need a clear strip like all other oil containers I've ever seen so that you can see the level to measure volume.

Again, Gulf is not Australian but Gulf Western is. Two seperate companies.
From your link:
”ABOUT GULF OIL
Gulf Oil was founded in 1901, with the discovery of the world’s 1st high volume
oil well at Spindletop, Texas, USA. Today, 116 years later, Gulf Oil is the fastest growing lubricant business in the world, and has stood the test of time to operate in over 100 countries.
Manufactured in Europe, Gulf Lubricants are specially blended from advanced synthetics…”
Gulf Western, on the other hand:
“COMPANY HISTORY
Peter Vicary and his sons Ben and Andrew founded Gulf Western Oil in 1988 for the sole purpose to design an oil specific to the Australian market. Australia has embraced this concept and over the last 35 years Gulf Western has become a leader in their field…The company remains fully Australian owned and operated by the Vicary family.“

2022 Toyota Highlander V6, 34,900 miles
Out: Heaven only knows. It was purchased with 31k on the dash. Checked the stick at time of purchase and the color looked acceptable. No sticker on glass and no way to check the dash for last interval. The maintenance reminder was not on as of 34,900. This means either it was changed and reset, or simply just reset.. Either way it was pretty dark amber coming out. Oil filter was made in china and really black. The part number on the filter didn't get any results on the web.

Probably a good plan to do a transmission service as well, just a spill and fill, use Honda fluid. I'd be willing to bet the cabin and intake filters haven't been done either, worth checking if you don't have access to a service history.
Good luck with your Odyssey
The cabin and engine filters were new. I bought the transmission fluid waiting for it to get here. So in the next few weeks that’s on my list.
