    2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid - 4,600 miles HPL No VII 5w20

    We see these results often in hybrid short trippers. That does includes these wear numbers by the way. I save the drama for several successive UOAs, again with a slightly thicker oils and a slightly longer OCI. This is a Hyundai engine after all, and my goal would be to seek maximum fuel...

    Any Ghost Stories?

    I am not sure. But of course deaf-mutes are going to have sensory skills beyond normal. They did seem to agree with each other. LOL. What a perfect storm of circumstances. The lease agreement was no longer the prevailing issue.

    Any Ghost Stories?

    A young deaf-mute couple was renting a room upstairs. One day, they frantically signed that there are ghosts residing in the house. The young deaf-mute couple moved out the next day. I rest my case.

    Oil is Oil

    And yet I sleep well at night. I see you finally threw in a few up to date qualifiers, such as some engines being designed to manage heat better on such abhorrently thin oil. This poster is looking forward to more and more lectures as constant skepticism is important.

    Oil is Oil

    That amount of sludge has me suspicious about what maintenance really occurred. Also, short tripper, severe service conditions with TGMO 0W16 would call for 5k mile OCIs.

    2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid Milky oil cap

    Toyota removed the electric thermostat on Corolla Cross vs Hatchback and Lexus UX. A mechanical thermostat is now deemed adequate and reliable. The engine is designed to quickly get up to operating temperatures for EPA. There is no harm in what you are seeing. My experience. --2019 Lexus UX...
