XG3600 19,600 miles, 2 10K M1 EP 5W30 OCIs

[bullwinkle]

Finally got close to 20K on the XG3600 Ultra on the xB in my sig, the first OCI was almost exactly 10K on M1 EP 5W30, the 2nd OCI was 9600 miles, same oil. I'm getting a little fuel contamination, oil smelled a little like gas & was thinning out, there was a little more valvetrain noise hot than usual. Second picture is after drying the element out a little. Personally, on a clean engine, these could almost be used indefinitely, other than a little carbon, there's basically nothing inside, at all.

thats the 2AZFE 4 cyl engine correct? Did you have any clearance issues with the 3600 filter? Good looking filter btw.

Yep. That's what I saw consistently in the filters I dissected after similar mileages.

1NZFE, 1.5 liter, the end of the filter is close to even with the bottom of the oil pan, the splash guards are still under it.
