Parity Loop Quest #8

Play on SudokuPad!
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Parity Pivot Loop: Form a one-cell-wide loop that moves through the grid orthogonally. The loop does not touch itself, not even diagonally. A loop cell is an odd digit if the loop moves straight through it, and is an even digit if the loop does a 90 degree turn at its location.
Loop Arrows: A digit on an arrow indicates how many loop cells are in the direction of the arrow, not counting the arrow cell.
Loop German Whispers: Any two cells connected by a green line contain one loop cell and one non-loop cell, and their digits differ by at least 5.
Example of a valid loop shape (the white cells inside the loop cannot be cut off from each other, and a 2x2 block of cells cannot all be loop cells):
(Puzzles throughout this series use the same loop rules, and visually identical elements have the same meaning).

Most approachable one in the series and at least for me the most fun one so far, great flow and nice logic!
