Supposedly a sludge monster yeah. For a SN HM oil, i was surprised. I think moly and boron were from run before which was SN QSUD 5W30

Umm, i currently have Harvest King synblend 5w20 in the Camry now. I got the oil over a year ago for $1/quart and obviously it didnt hurt anything



I didn't think it would harm a thing. I also thing all the angst on site about viscosity is overblown.

Happy Veteran's Day.


Thank You sir

Yeah, I'll give M1 5w20 a shot after a 5-6k run on HK 5W20

Funny, I've got this same oil about to come out of my Rav4. Are most of these miles highway or city/suburb?

 

[53' Stude]

90% highway and very little stop and go

Again it looks good. Im in the thought it is better to go up in grade rather then go down. You are not going to starve your engine with a 40 grade.

Good point and i had no issues in late winter with the oil on startup

Are these known to have high FE, because that seems like a lot of FE.

Thank You for posting.

Air intake seems to not seal completely?

I am not totally sure. I'm honestly impressed a bit and whats the allowable fe limit per 1k miles?

Well said. And what Garak and Dave said was really good too.

Keep on rolling Capt

I'm not random in any way. I think I've sent Adam about 30 filters, all told.

Adam, PPM per 1k is usually best used when trending your past UOAs... if you go back and see your engine was around 1ppm/1k on all older ones, and this fill was 3.2ppm, depending on your sample size it may or may not be out of control "statistically speaking". One thing of note, Overkill has posted several times that it seems Mobil may be chelating (chemically separating) some iron that had ended up in the nooks and crannies of your engine. I can't validate that for sure, but it seems mostly logical. 32ppm of iron does seem kind of high for a Toyota engine, however.

Thanks Chris

I wonder if the lil' consumption this engine has maybe affected the iron #'s. Still runs great is the funny thing
