Vehicle: 1999 Toyota Tercel
Mileage: 280,000 km (175,000 miles)
Oil: Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30
Miles on oil: 10,000km (6,200 miles)
Filter: Wix (black case)
Miles on Filter: 10,000km (6,200 miles)
No top-up oil.
I recently installed a Frantz oil filter (used a bunch of RTV when I dropped the oil pan and silicone tape during the installation process of the Frantz filter which I think explains the high Si). The toilet paper roll was not changed during the 10,000km interval. I discovered and fixed a vacuum leak from a rotten hose midway through the interval. I also got a VOA for the oil for oxidation numbers. Particle Count was using a laser optical (ISO4406) methodology. Lab was Metro Tech Systems in Canada. I've never put oil in for more than 10,000km but I think I'll keep this one in for another 10,000 with a new tp roll and filter (and about a quart top-up), maybe get another UOA then. I'm happy with what I see.
