I live in an apartment building, I’ve done oil changes on equinox and crosstrek in lot or closed buildings nearby. I extract thru dipstick and for the Equinox with the filter underneath I use a large baggie around the filter to catch the oil. No oil spills.

Berryman 1 man/person job extremely easy.

I log all my car work on my phone. Oil changes, everything

Did another IV cleaning on 2019 Crosstrek Premium 45400 on car 15000 apprx between cleaning. Used Berryman intake valve cleaner. 1 man job. 👍

Did IV cleaning on 2020 Equinox 66800 miles, approximately 15000 from last one.

2-Berryman intake valve cleaner…Walmarts it was cheaper then Amazon.

2020 Equinox 1.5T Out Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 In Pennzoil PLATINUM 0w20 Filter Mobil 1 stayed on for 1 more oil change interval 6232 miles on oil, 7 months 66392 on vehicle no Extracted thru dipstick

2019 Subaru Crosstrek Total miles 44850 OCI 5000 a little less Out Mobil 1 5w30 ep w/stp xl filter On Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 w/ Fram ultra filter Extracted thru dipstick. Removed drain plug to see what came out….maybe a tablespoon. Temp outside was 38 degrees felt like a heatwave.

Oliveoil2 get an extractor from Amazon.

In Peekskill,NY not far from you. 5w30 in Crosstrek, no issue starting after some negative temps sitting outside overnight.

The question is is Mobil 1 Extended Performance is not around what would I grab. In 0w20 flavor at Walmart. 1) Valvoline Extended Protection 2) Royal Purple 3) Quaker State Ultimate Protection 2020 Equinox 1.5 and 19 crosstrek 2.0

Will see I’m at 6100 miles @ 19% on OLM. It’s toooo cold to change it.

Honestly don’t know. The algorithm is based on 10000 mile dexos syn oil.

Follow the OLM. GM has created a great tool and it has been thoroughly tested.

I think with Mobil 1 Extended Performance and probably the GM OLM analog you take the oil down to 0-5%.
