How many miles on the OCI and Filter?
Just fantastic! 401k! How has the timing chain held up? And how often do you adjust the valves? Really impressive.
Lol, no clue.
The wife and kid swear I changed the oil in it last December, but the last entry I have in her log is from December 2023.
So, somewhere between 8000 and 25000 I would guess.
I'm not being mean to her, its just her responsibility to get with me when the car needs maintenance, or she can take it to a quick lube place. I know it wasn't changed elsewhere cause I remember using that MG filter.
My wife is the same way.
That’s funny! Good on ya for giving good advice and doing the maintenance work. Healthy Love on both ends!

Okay, this bothered me enough that I ended up draining the oil after only 6 days and 139 miles. I really want to begin a 4th OCI of VRP and I’m just not a patient person. Plus, I get the warm fuzzies of knowing that any carbon and varnish is being slowly eaten away. It’s my fiancée’s car and maintenance was not exactly top-of-mind before I came in the picture.
Man, I love this car, though. It’s helped raise two awesome children and taken a good bit of abuse in the process, but it keeps on going without a single complaint. What a tank.
Timing chain replaced around 350000. Valve adjustment every tune up

Good ol' PYB
2024 Tundra:
Out- Dealer 0w20
In- VRP 5w30
Did not change the filter as the dealer had just changed the oil. I double checked, there is a "Mighty" branded oil filter on there so I know they did it! But wanted to get the 0W20 out of there.
21,229 miles.

I would have done the same thing myself, even though I am not a short OCI kind of person
It was a bit hard for me when I was using VRP in my Civic because I knew that it was best for me to run it for shorter intervals than I usually do (I usually do 9-10k but with VRP I ran it for three intervals with each being in the 5.5k to 6.4k range, which comes up way too quickly for me considering it’s a 160 mile round trip from my place to Niagara Falls and I’m there 6 days a week right now)

Obtained sample - will send out this week hopefully
Not sure why it’s turning pic sideways - I even tried to rotate the picture and it still turned it sideways
