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.
