Here are the results of a 10,988 mile OCI using Mobil 1 5W-30 over approximately 9 months. The first 6000 miles were with a Napa Gold filter, then I switched to a MicroGreen filter for the last 5K miles. These were mostly highway miles, with about 600 miles of trailer towing on my '03 Toyota Highlander with a 3.0 V6 engine. If you want to check out pictures of the dissected filter, go to the Bypass Filter Forum.

I think this is an awesome report! Looks like hardly any wear at all is taking place and that is at 10K mile OCI on a vehicle with 125K miles! Viscosity appears to be just a hair out of the 30 weight range but that is just barely and the engine obviously didn't mind.

Yes, this was regular silver cap Mobil 1.

I agree that it's a pretty good report, however since this MicroGreen filter has a bypass element, I was expecting good results.
