Citgo SuperGard 5W-20, 5001 mi, 08 Lexus RX400h

[e40]

First UOA of my '08 RX400h. Hybrid with 3MZ-FE engine. Lab was ALS. Oil was in service for 6 months, mostly city / suburban driving. Quaker State QS-3614 filter. Drained and refilled with same oil, and Mahle OC-338 filter.

Nice report.

Nice #s.
Ever consider extending OCI further ?

How much did NAPA charge for the analysis?

$15.82 at my local store. (Part# FIL 4077)

Then add postage to send it to the lab. (ALS Tribology)

that's a nice oil for the price

I'm into the Citgo for about $.70 - $1.25 per quart AR. Quaker State filters about $1.50. I could probably extend the OCI on this vehicle, but I think I'll just save my UOA money and stick to factory intervals of 5k for <$10 per.

Thanks for posting - solid results.

Looks good; I was a former Citgo stasher myself.

Our local small box store often has the full syn platinum bottles for the same price AR as the semi-syn.
