I will say that I always change my oil at 5000 mi or 6 mo, which ever comes first and I typically use a name brand synthetic like Valvoline, Pennzoil, or Mobil. I know this is probably overkill, but I am not coming down to 4 months any time soon.
Mobil has been having trouble for quite some time now. They blend their oils in TX and one of the plants went on fire in January (?) . I also think they were heavily affected (like a lot of manufacturing businesses) by the ice storms and power outages in early 2021.
Only one of the local Toyota...
Filters that I have identified that are Skyactiv (no ABDV) specific:
WIX 57002 / NAPA Gold 7002
FULL 2-OMD007 (NAPA Altrom ATM 2OMD007)
MicroGard MGL57002 (*Rated for 5000 mi)
I haven't had them pull the part, but I am assuming that the NAPA ProSelect 27002 also doesn't have an ADBV and this...
I have been using the WIX 57002 on my friend's '14 Mazda 3 and I just ordered some of these filters by FULL from the Naper (https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/ATM2OMD007). They are made in Thailand and out of the box definitely feel like they are a quality filter and don't have an ADBV as is...

Yup, that's how I am going to use it.
Here is the updated VOA run by PQIA. Good Golly Miss Molly!

Oil was still super slick when I drained it. That was the first thing that comes to mind. Regardless of what I put in my cars though, I stick to a 5k / 6 mo OCI. It just works the best for me and I remember. I think I paid $13 for 5 qts after the MIR.
The engine is in great shape and doesn't...
2009 Sonata GLS 2.4L I4 182500 miles
Out - Valvoline Extended Protection 5W30 & NAPA/Wix 1334 - 5100 mi OCI
In - Mobil1 European Formula 0W40 & NAPA/Wix 1334.
I dumped my '21 Corolla 2ZR-FAE oil at ~1100 miles. Toyota doesn't specify this, but there were visible wear metals when I dumped the filter. I would change it after the break-in period. The mileage is denoted in your manual.
The Car Care Nut specifies to do this and states he doesn't care what...
@Astro14 is correct in his explanation.
If you pull the scientific/engineering articles from the SAE Journal on the development of 0W-16 and 0W-20, the tests they conducted include wear analysis.
The manufacturer's test and determine whether or not the wear on the engine - rings, main...
For a bumper, I received a quote for 1100 with an OEM bumper cover and to repaint a spoiler, it was 400.
I think it would probably be around 1000 for a quality job with a quality part.
Update for today.
NAPA can't get it and FleetPride is backordered for 1 to 3 months.
Also, I reached out directly to Chevron and they stated they do ship to residential addresses.
