Very low comsumption over 10000km

[rcy]

Out with the old, in with the new...

Changed out Quaker State synthetic 5w30 today (I had a 4.4 litre jug laying around after last winter and topped up to 4.7 litres with 300ml from Toyota 0w20 I have (Eneos version).

Judging from the bottles I filled with the old oil, I'm quite happy with the very very low consumption.

Refilled 4.7 litres with Toyota 0w20 (the rare Eneos version (I have one unopened litre left that I may save hoping it appreciates in value...lol) which I will run for the winter (about 10000km again). Then I have a 4.4 litre jug of Valvoline synthetic 5w30 I need to get rid of for next summer.

After that I have two 5 litre jugs of Toyota 0w20 (Exxon version) that I will need to get rid of. Was planning on running 0w20 all year, but had these two jugs (the Quaker I just drained and the Valvoline for next summer) that I want to get rid of.

Anyhow, roughly it looks like 1000ml x2 and 850ml x3 which equals 4550 out of the original 4700 I put in over 10000KM. Not bad.

*edit* Thought those lines on the bottle were 200ml intervals..actually they're 100ml. So closer to 4350 from the original 4700. Still happy with that.

That is very impressive for a 10k km run, i had a Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L that would lose 200-300ml in a 10k km oci.

I missed the conversation on the different versions of Toyota 0w-20 could you please enlighten me or supply a link to the conversation.

My 07 Accord V6 consumes virtually no consumption over 10,000km OCI. I never measure how many litre put in and out, but the oil level shows less than 3mm decrease on the dip stick.

You probably lost less than you think. There is probably a small amount still in the engine, and more than you think gets left in the oil catch pan when you poured it out of there into those bottles.

Good point, actually, because the level on the dipstick barely seemed to move over the 10000km. Also, I forgot about the oil in the filter, and as you pointed out, there was quite a mess left in the catch pan that I had to clean out with a cloth.
