This is a cartridge system and the 2GR-FE engine capacity is 6.4qts. Fuel cleaner BG 44k 11oz was added and consumed prior to this oc.
The OCI was 3k mi but removed 1qt, prior to adding 1qt of hpl 30ec which was in for 90 days and 2k. This is the HPL’s conservative recommendation. No uoa will be done. No carbon like particles observed or found in the filter. The oil color was reddish brown, no grit to the touch and no smell of fuel dilution. The out was shell 0w-20 + hpl 30ec with a Toyota and the in was hpl euro 5w-30 with a Toyota oil filter.
Since it was new, an oil change was done every 5K and Fram Ultra every 10K. The exception is this switch over to hpl oils. Using a Fram Ultra would have been a waste of an excellent filter.
