First time poster and I'm doing so at a request from a member of a different forum.
I have a 1996 Land Cruiser with @ 190k on the clock. I bought this truck with 38k and have ran M1 since then. PepBoys had a calander with a 1/2 off coupon in it this year and I bought 20 calenders. I would typically do raids on pepboys and buy several cases at a time. This one time I got 2 cases of 15w/50 M1 extended life oil. Since the Aus market specs out this weight for for summer use I thought I'd try it.

FUEL % ......... WATER % ...... INSOLUBLES ...
COMMENTS:
Nothing too unusual showed up in the initial sample from your Land Cruiser. Wear levels read low and were well within the normal range for the 4.5L Toyota engine. These engines tend to wear very well, and this one is no exception. The universal averages column shows typical wear from this type of engine after about 4700 miles on the oil. Some fuel dilution was present, though not enough to suspect a fuel system problem. Fuel is common in engines that see city driving. The VIS went a little high on you. The TBN read 3.2, still active additive remaining. Looks good.
What do you guys think?
