This is off my autocross car, a 96 Tercel with a hybrid (gen1 bottom end/gen2 top end) 5efe thats turbocharged. 2100 miles on the dot over the last 6 months. HPL pcmo 5w30. Same filter and oil went back on. This will carry me to next spring.
No suprises, filter did the job. This motor still sheds a little aluminum but each time its less and less. I did change to stiffer valvesprings during this. The magnets I run picked up some slurry. I was contemplating chucking the motor after this season for a 1nzfe but it keeps trucking along making good power.
I also included pics of the process. First time changing the oil with my splitter on so I had to make a little guide that worked well. Access to the filter is tight because of my air intake thats not quick to remove. Luckily I had an old Amsoil cup that fits and I was able to crack it loose with that then just barely get my arm down in there to undo the filter. But I had to fish it out from the bottom.
