Oil: Mobil1 0w20 Extended Permformance
Filter: Fram Ultra XG9972
Here is the recent oil change from my 2013 Toyota RAV4. This is my first extended oil change, having just come off of the ToyotaCare free maintenance not too long ago. I'm not sure where the elevated silicon came from, it still had the factory air filter in it (replaced after the oil change). The only thing I can figure is maybe the receptacle I put the oil in was contaminated. I couldn't find my Blackstone kit so I put the oil in a new mini Ball jar and let the heat of the oil dissipating seal the lid. We'll see how it trends.
Looking at the outside of the filter versus the inside and considering the low insoluble level, this filter did the job I would expect from synthetic filter media.
