Finally some weekend downtime to change the oil on my daily driver, 2012 Toyota Yaris. 153260 Miles.
What came out: HPL Passenger Car PC5W30, was in service for 10600 miles. Donaldson P551132, was in service for roughly 5000 miles.
What went in: HPL Super Car PC5W40SC, Fram Endurance FE3600.
Base plate SmCo magnets caught some stuff, although very little, wiping them off on the shop towel revealed quite a bit and putting a magnet over them lifts the paper a little!
I'll probably send the filter out to a special guest or cut it open myself in a week, really looking forward to see what it caught.
Magnets arrangement on the new filter. This took me a little longer than expected since I had to clean off and reuse the magnets from the Donaldson. If you're curious these magnets size are 3/8" diameter x 1/8" thick.
Oil sampled, pretty certain it can go longer but I still want some base line mileage numbers before pushing further. As dark as it looks here, the oil on the dipstick looks clean reddish amber.
Takes about half a quart to prefill the filter. Took a whiff from the bottle and pitcher, there is that similar distinct sweet smell unique to HPL motor oils.
Big filter, but only half inch sorter than the Titanium FS3600, doesn't hang beyond the oil pan.
I start her up and noticed immediately the car sounds strangely quiet on idle. Normally there is little valve train nose on start up idle until fully warm/hot. First time running xW-40 grade oil on the car.

I flogged the engine pretty hard during this oil service life, hopefully 5w-40 Supercar makes a difference!
Should get some UOA results within a week or two.

Sounds like you got your moneys worth!
I'll be moving the rest of my remaining HPL PC 5W-30 stash to my bro's 2022 WRX. Last time he did an oil change he got swindled pretty hard at the dealership for 647 bucks cause he was in a hurry. Upsold him on a bunch of services he didn't really need or I could have done for less. Looking forward to see how results will give on that car he if he ever decides to try extended drains with oil analysis.

i may still do a UOA just to get wear metals, just won’t be able to determine viscosity retention not that i’m worried in the slightest as a K24 is supposedly easy on oil.
2022 Acadia 3.6L takes a spin on filter, UPF63R or equivalent, plus 6 US quarts or 5.7 litres.

Regardless, a snapshot of your engine's current health is valuable on its own to help find potential issues before they get worse.
My engine is easy on oil as well which was the reason why I purchased this car over others. I am at a point where I want finer things in life so my next one certainly isn't going to be a Toyota haha.

My opinion is the M-1 as the much better buy.
The LM MoS2 will separate when idle. Once the engine starts, it remixes/re-blends to above average satisfaction.
Minor concentration of Graphite is (in my opinion) the culprit.

2022 F-150, 2.7 Ecoboost. 33k mi, 3k mi on oil. Early change, but I was bored this weekend and Wally had Edge 5W-40 on sale...
Out: Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30, MicroGard Select MSL10050
In: Castrol Edge 5W-40, MicroGard Select MSL10050
Figured I would give 5W-40 a shot - I idle a lot due to Houston traffic, so plenty of fuel dilution.

I bet you love that incredible 2.7....
Absolutely. It’s fantastic to drive (loads of fun, too) while still being pretty darn efficient for a truck… and is still way more truck than I need!
