XG3600 24,000kms Cut Open

[mcwilly]

This is off my 2001 Toyota Echo, which calls for the 4967. The 3600 is about 3-4 times the size and this engine shows very little wear in UOAs, I took the "leave it on" to the extreme.
The car has a fumoto valve and tends to start burning oil around the 6,000 km mark. So I basically left the filter on and did the drain and fill for 4 OCI's at about 6,000km a piece (about a year and a half).

This can is a little too big for my filter cutter (aka exhaust cutter) so I caused some damage to it, not sure how many of the specs in there were from me cutting it. Looks pretty unremarkable other than that after 24,000kms. I will be repeating this process with another XG3600.

Thanks for the C&P, pics look good. Where are you buying your filters from?

Canadian Tire, usually get them on sale for $12 plus some CT Money.

From the looks of those photo’s, probably could have left it on for another OCI or two!
Thanks for the C&P.

I left one of those on the xB in my sig for 20K (well, 19,700) miles, 2 OCIs of M1 EP 5W30, it looked virtually brand new inside, only some carbon in the dome, could have gone 40K! I think can rust is literally the only thing that could kill one.
