5K run with 4 quarts of Pennzoil High Mileage 5W30 (API SN) and one quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 (API SN).
Vehicle is 2004 Lexus RX330 (3.3L V6) with just over 155K.
History of oil changes:
-Oil changes every 5K
-Oil filter every other change
---Mobil 1, Fram Xtended Guard, Pure One, Bosch Distance Plus
---current filter is Distance Plus
-OEM air filter (will be changed soon)
Comments from Blackstone were overall positive.
CURTIS: The string of perfect reports continues with this most recent sample from your Lexus. Wear
numbers are at some of the lowest levels we've seen, and considering that this engine has a long history of
nice, low wear, that's really saying something. The oil mix you're using certainly seems to be working, so we
wouldn't change a thing if we were you. There were no signs of contaminants and all the additives and
physical properties were consistent with previous samples we've seen. The TBN was good at 2.3, so there
was still active additive left. Nice report!
I welcome any feedback.
