I just did my first change at 468 miles. A bit of fine glittering particles suspended in the oil. Smell of gasoline when the oil came out. It's winter, so I'm not really surprised. I do 90% highway driving, but about 5 stop starts just before the oil change around the corner at the dealer getting an inspection.
Hereās my oil after only 538 miles. Smelled very gassy, and I cut open the filter tooā¦some non metallic metal particles in the pleats. Glad I changed it out. Eventually Iād like to run a 30wt oil in this engineā¦only thing that cautions me is itās a hybrid, so lots of start/stops. But it shouldnāt matter. Maybe a 0w30 would be ok. Within a few thousand miles it would be sheared down to a 0w20 anyways idk
