This is my 21 Lexus NX 300 hybrid with 60k miles. I ran ST Syn 0w-20 for 10,023 miles. I used a Toyota oil filter. This is their 10k variant. I do about 80 miles per day for work. I do 90% highway driving. I floor it daily since this car has no power and I need to merge.

Highway driving is much easier on oil. I wouldn't go this long on this oil if it were winter driving with short trips. Nice report!
At 80 miles per day you will rack a ton a miles on that vehicle. Happy motoring!
Florida, 80 miles a day, mostly highway, abslolutely. Very nice.
I'm in South Carolina, also have an 80 mile a day commute (when I go to office, which is not every day.) Probably 50-60 miles of the commute is highway. I have a DI engine though, so still sticking with 5K. I may do a UOA around the 25K mark and see if I can creep it up a bit.

4.3 TBN after 10,000 miles is still kinda impressive, even with the highway miles.
Gotta make you feel good, great report!
DSMDriver, may I ask how long after you sent the sample did you receive your report? I'm waiting on analysis and was curious on the current turnaround time.

Nice run! I’d venture to say 15k would be easy to hit under these conditions
As a fellow Supertech/Kirkland oil user your results look very impressive to me.

I think I might actually try the 15k and sample again.

Excellent UOA
At least 12,000 miles based on that report. TBN is still like new and low low wear metals.
Nice 10k mile results.
Super Tech oils with their Dexos 1 Gen 3 approval, and $18.64 for a 5 quart jug, are the best value in motor oils in my opinion.
They have high amounts of anti-wear additives (phosphorous + zinc) and high amounts of detergent additives (Calcium).
Also, their anti-tamper protection on the spout gives some added protection against someone returning used oil in the new container.
To open the 5 quart jug, I use an exacto knife to remove the 2 layer paper + plastic spout protection.
Then I use a stainless steel funnel with a strainer to be 100% sure none of the spout protection dropped into the oil.

I actually like the Supertech oil seal, nothing hard to deal with plus I know someone hasn't dumped their old oil back in the container and returned it.@Bill7 — so the cheapest oil at ChinaMart also has a pain in the finger security seal?classic.
The Premium $29.99 Valvoline has no annoying seal to mess with.
God Bless America.
Boy for Walmart cheap oil those are some really impressing numbers.
