Hello,
I recently bought a 2005 Toyota Landcruiser 100 with the v8 4.7L 2UZ-FE engine. It had 113,800km (70,700 miles) on the clock. According to the previous owner it had done approx. 7000km (4350 miles) on the oil, which was Mobil Formula S2 10w40.
I have never done a UOA so i thought i would make start with this vehicle and see what i can learn. I used an oil lab here in Australia, Roktex (the reports don't look as good as Blackstone but hopefully they're comparable).
Here is the link to the report for this first oil change.
http://www.roktex.com.au/viewTestResults?order=A89001
According to the lab, all is ok. Can anyone see anything alarming or interesting?
Now I'm trying to work out which oil to run in this thing. The book states 10w30 as being best. I had one of these smooth motors in a previous car and i always put castrol edge 5w30 in it. I'll probably run Nulon or Penrite's dexos1 5w30 oil in it, and maybe 10w40 in summer.
I hope someone finds this useful and can give me some pointers.
I will keep posting the reports as i get them done.
Thanks,
Andrew
