Was the Cat necesserary? I've had only one experience with an aftermarket cat, probably going back to about 2015. It wasn't a good experience. Luckily the shop I was dealing with took the hit and replaced it with the OEM cat on their dime.

31,089 miles on car.
4,032 miles since last oil change, ~6 months.
Out/In: PP 0W-20
Filter Off/On: Wix 57055
I have I think 4 more jugs of PP which is another 2 years worth of changes (4 changes).
Also replaced the Cabin Air filter with a Bosch HEPA 6092C and put a bottle of BG 44k Platinum in tank. Will follow up with a bottle of B12 in a future tank. My last can of 44k. Have a 12 pack of Amsoil P.I I just got. I use a FI cleaner every OCI and B12 once a year.

In : Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20, Fram Endurance 6607 with white wire backed media and e core.
Out : HPL PCMO 10w30, Beck Arnley Filter.
Ran the HPL for 10K miles, changed the filter at 5K. Also a Beck Arnley. Only observations was the old oil definitely had more a red hue to it than usual, and lost a few mpg's by going to a 10w30 instead of factory 0w20. If I was financially able I'd stick with the HPL. Got the Ulta Platinum for 23 bucks and the endurance for 8 at Wallys.

2025 Toyota Prius Prime 1200km on the clock.
Out:Factory Toyota 0w16 and 10009 filter.

ennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 and 10010 filter.
As a side note, my Japanese made M20A-FXS had a whole lot less debris in the factory filter then my brother's A25A-FXS (US or Canadian Made?? Do they build engines in Huntsville Alabama?) in his new Mazda CX50 Hybrid that uses the powerplant from a Rav4 Hybrid. But is actually more fun to drive, being a Mazda.. Almost the same engine, one loaded with grit and crap at 400km, the other with a quantity that i would quantify as normal for a new engine.
