Hey BITOG faithful, here is the most recent run in the GF's Lexus at 159,405 miles on PUP 5w30 run for just about 6 months on oil that Pennzoil provided. I paid for the entire report because there is apparently "funding issues" with the Pennzoil TAB at Blackstone. I wanted the results so I just opted to foot the bill.
Car use hasn't changed since the previous sample (work days 110 miles round trip, days off short in town trips) which was 4 quarts of M1 SM spec 5w30 and 1 quart Red Line 5w30 with a FL910S filter. Current run was with a Fram Ultra XG3614 cut/posted here on the forum.
I have to admit the UOA additives portion looks really weak, but the oil performed admirably, I was skeptical that it could show any improvement over what I'd been seeing, but wear metals are within the accuracy of the analysis or down.
Current fill is PYB SAE 30 and a Rock Auto Ultra Power filter that appears to be a copy of a DENSO or Toyota filter, current run will be in the car for 5,600 ish with another sample after.
