Pretty boring first report for my son's 4Runner. Just grabbed a sample out of curiosity. I may have put a couple of quarts of 5W30 in when I did the prior change, which is probably why the viscosity is a tad high. I got A LOT of RGT 0W20, 5W20 and 5W30 back when it was put on clearance at...

Unremarkable sample from our 2017 Pilot. This was 5W-20 Mobil1 Annual Protection (bought on clearance a few years ago at AutoZone) with a Fram XG7317. Use was mostly highway miles along the Gulf Coast.

Second sample from my Ridgeline. Much better and unremarkable. Using a Fram TG7317. Changed oil when the sample was taken with Magnatec 5W20 and left the filter for another 5000 mi. Glad Cu was low. Our Pilot had slightly elevated Cu as well. Will be sampling it at 55,000 mi as well which...

First analysis from the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. This one has run Magnatec since new on 5K intervals. This was with a Fram TG7317 run 2 OCIs or 10,000 miles. Better than our Pilot (link below) as far as Cu, but Al higher. Seems not too bad I guess. 2017 Pilot

Second sample from our 2017 Pilot. This was a blend of 3.5 qt M1 EP 0W-20 and 2.0 qt M1 0W-40 run for 5,000 miles. Filter was Fram XG7317 run for 10,000 miles. Again not sure what to think about the copper. This car doesn't see the miles it used to. My wife has been traveling alot for work, so...

FWIW, first sample from our 2017 Pilot. It was a blend of 4 qt M1 0W20 EP and 1.5 qt M1 0W-40 that I still have from our Audi days. Wix 57356XP filter. Not sure what to make of the Cu. Went back with same oil blend and Fram Ultra 7317. Will run oil for 5k and filter for 10k going forward...
