Oil Analysis

This is my 2000 Rav4 with 1AZ-FE engine 140,000 km on the clock. 8000km on the oil over about 10 months. No make up oil was added. The oil is Mobil Super 2000 5w30 Semi Synthetic and I wonder how similar it is to MS5K. I had the analysis done mainly as it does a huge number of very short trips during the week. it does do a lot of longer trips in the weekends though.

Thanks for sharing. Short trips kill oil, at least you didn't have brutally cold weather, extended OCI looks like playing with fire. I recommend shaving some mileage off. However perhaps some bitog experts could comment.
 
my g/f has same yr RAV here is the last UOA I had done.ran Rotella T6, prior to that it was on AMSoil ACD for a few yrs. driving is mixed short trip and 4hr round trip hiway run once a week. 210K on the clock
 
Thanks for the replies. The subsequent fill is Penrite Synthetic 5w30 (DX1). I was hoping to go 15000km as I wont be doing so many super short trips anymore.
