Sorry for the late reply. If the donor 2.5 was well maintained, you've got a lot of time to enjoy it. Not a powerhouse at 175hp but it's definitely a solid piece.

So quiet, I'll need to upgrade my hearing aids to hear some noise. Them low tension rings must be having a hard time letting oil in.That’s the BITOG dynamic duo right there!

2010 Toyota Matrix around 6,000 miles since last change per owner
Odometer at 117,000 car runs very nicely and the oil looked amazingly clean. I think these 1.8's are really great engines.
Out: Unknown oil and OEM Toyota Filter
In: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 and Microgard Select filter
Agreed to do this for a friend of mine at work. Figured I could use the Toyota filter removal tool I had left over from owning my Lexus GS 350, but it turns out the 1.8 liter on this Matrix needs a smaller one. Thought I was stuck and almost gave up but got it off with a ratcheting removal tool (luckily it was not overtightened on previous change). Was challenging getting it seated back on tightly but managed it with some grippy gloves and elbow grease.

2022 Toyota Tundra w/3.4TT. I just had the engine replaced under the Toyota recall a couple weeks ago and decided to do a short OCI/break-in change on the factory fill. I didn’t take any pictures of the drained oil but it was thankfully uneventful, just very slightly cloudy/silver and no visible particles. I did save the filter to cut open when I get time.
Miles on engine and OCI: 795 mi
Out/Off: 7.7 quarts Factory Fill 0W-20 and a Toyota 90915-10010

2023 KIA RIO at work. 44k on car
Out/off: guessing Pennzoil and wrong PZ 37 oil filter. Stupid do exist even working at quick lubes.
In/on: MADE IN CHINA PROTEC 51334 and Safety Kleen 0w20 oil.
Old oil had maybe 600 miles on it. Customer said they saw oil dripping from underneath. Thank You quick lube moron for overfilling and spilling new oil all over shields too. I degreased undercarriage with “castrol super clean” and water. Cut and post of filter soon.

2012 GMC Canyon 2.9 Vortec 77,504mi on vehicle
About 2.5k miles on oil
Last couple UOA’s came back with high silicone & high iron wear. Replaced air filter, took air inlet tubing apart to try to find leak & reassembled.
Decided I’m not going to refill with HPL until the dirt intrusion is found & fixed so I’ll be sampling & changing frequently to keep dirt out of the system/minimized.
Out: HPL PCMO 5/30 & Fram FE3506
In: Delo 400 XSP 5/40 & an old Napa Gold filter I found in the toolbox.
Also did a 5qt “oil flush” with some old 5/30 prior to filling with the Delo. After draining the HPL, filled with a cheap SN+ 5/30, ran for 5min, shut down & changed to the Delo.
Didn’t see the Delo XSP in either of the VOA threads so decided to take a sample with my UOA I’m sending off. Will update in that forum when I get the results.

2023 Honda Civic Touring Sedan 1.5t 20,540 miles
About 2,700 on oil
Out: Mobil1 5W-30 EP, Honda 15400-PLM-A02 filter
In: Mobil1 5W-30 EP, Honda 15400-PLM-A02 filter
My Technician had time in his schedule and I'm having eye surgery next week followed by an unknown number of appointments, figured better early than late with a DI engine with a known record of oil dilution.
Technician told me oil was dark but no real fuel smell. Stopped obsessing with UOA's, just change more often. Like the car, gets decent mileage, never uses oil.
