4 months 10k miles which is a miles number the iOLM hits about every time.
Fram Ultra over-sized oil fllter, XG3600 at 4.9" long (standard size is XG3614 at 3.3"), same diameter.
It's a hybrid, meaning the engine really only ran about 50% of the time. That 10k mile figure is about 5k road miles. (This is not a plug-in Energi version.)
2.0L normally aspirated Atkinson cycle (late intake valve closing) 12.3:1 geometric compression ratio (note Atkinson makes the expansion longer).
Port fuel injection, no DI here!
Direct Acting Mechanical Buckets (DAMB) in the valvetrain rubbing away on the cams ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io9WKHf6_9o )
Warm weather, almost no short trips, a lot of hard acceleration under a combination of engine & electric motor power.
KV100 visc was up about 1 cSt (10%) over new PP, and its due to the "doping" of small doses of STP Oil Treatment HM 200 cSt KV100 swill and HyperLube ZRA polymer ester for the hot weather and a little extra seal conditioning halfway through the oil change.
Also put in 2oz of Berryman Engine Oil Extender halfway through the OCI for the anti-oxidants and extra moly.
Make-up oil was just the cup (total) of the additives above, and about a cup of PP to keep it at the full line; so 1/2 quart total stuff put in over 10k miles.
Iron was low, as I think the Universal Average is about 20 ppm Fe. GoldPlug magnetic drain plug may have taken some of the iron out, as there was a tiny amount of iron-fuzz on it.
Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 is a GroupIII+ based, dexos1 Gen2, SN GF-5 motor oil, cheap at walmart at $13/5-quarts with mail-in rebate from Shell.
Previous oil used was the same PP. In went more PP at the change.
