That’s a good plan. I’ve got an old v6 Tacoma that has leaky VC gaskets. Using high mileage oil has helped. If I might ask, what do you do to drive that many miles in a month?

2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid 31577 miles on vehicle
Driven to jobsite 60 miles each way 5-6 days a week. Some days I take it easy and drive 65 some days traffic is bad and slow, some days I drive 80+. Average mpg this OCI was 43.7 . It only took two months and a week to accumulate these miles.
Miles last OCI 7057 . I normally go 10k do to the service type solidly warm temps. but this was first OCI with Valvoline restore and protect.
Out Valvoline restore and protect 0w20 with a fram premium oil filter. Not going to cut it open but it appeared very serviceable.
In 4.4 qts Valvoline restore and protect 0w20 with fram. Mid grade extra guard filter.
Nothing out of the ordinary. I will Probably run this OCI to 40k miles on vehicle to get back to round numbers. or about 8500 miles on oil.

2009 Honda Pilot 3.5 V6, 108,485mls.
Annual change. Actually, I didn’t think I racked up 3,485mls since last year. I thought maybe 1,500 at most.
Out: Mobil1 0W20 Extended Performance & OE filter.
In: Mobil 1 ESP 0W20 X2 & FRAM Ultra filter.

My other Ford Focus or 09’ with 380k on it now.
Out: Some Delvac 1300 10w-30 and a Toyota YZZD1 filter. Gf’s daughter did last change and she put 7k on oil and filter.
In/on: HPL HDEO 5w-30 CK-4 and old wire backe FS 3614 TITANIUM
I know, I know, why a HDEO? Cause I care to support a small quality driven company. I know a certain “someone” here thinks that’s silly but I don’t care honestly.
