The OEM oil filter worked well to keep insolubles low, and after 8,570 miles on this fill of Castrol High Mileage, the 2.8 TBN shows the oil had active additive to spare.
Pros: keeps insolubles low

Toyota Sequoia
Mileage: 8570 km
I tried using valvoline, that burned noticeably faster. But castrol high mileage has been pretty good.
Pros: pretty good
Cons: burned noticeably faster
Castrol Europeans 0W40 is my typical go-to but Mobil-1 is great, get whichever is cheaper.
