Trying to work through my stash with shorter intervals on the old VW. 2009 VW CC 2.0T 138,000mi and 4,100mi OCI Out: Castrol Edge 0W40/Mann 719/45 filter In: Castrol Edge 5W40/MicroGard MGL57561 filter

The wife's brand new rig...'23 Kia Sorento SX Prestige X-Line. Out: factory fill In: QS Euro 5w40 & Wix WL10514.

2014 Jetta had a failing electric fan with an integrated control module. The larger fan would work sporadically....often shutting off while at idle/stopped in traffic. This would cause the A/C to run hot, as the smaller fan couldn't pull enough air across the condenser. Swapped the entire loaded...

Very cool project....kudos on the purchase and rehab/upgrades.

New radiator fans in the '09 CC. One of them recently began to make some noise, so a new pair of Mahle/Behr units are going in. Scored the loot from FCP Euro.

Brand new 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. 2400mi on the engine. Drained the Dexos 5W30 factory fill and dumped in 7qts of PP Euro 0W40. The PF63 was presumably installed by a gorilla. Took way too much time and effort to remove. Spun on a new PF63 and put a magnet tip drain plug in the pan.

Used mostly Castrol over the last 24yrs of motoring. Used to be Syntec and later the Edge Euro line. I've branched out to other brands over the last 10yrs, not because of any issues with the BP products.

The cross-country trek was around 24mpg, typically holding around 80mph. Took a 200mi trip yesterday and averaged 26mpg. City driving....much worse! I take every opportunity to rip through the gears. I really need to get it on a track toa ppreciate it's capabilities.

This thing is a total sweetheart. Drive from Vegas to Charlotte was beautiful. Getting it's first oil change tomorrow at 2400mi with PP Euro 0W40.

Update for this thread... Flying to Vegas next weekend to purchase a new CT4V Blackwing. Driving it back to North Carolina over a span of three days. Plenty of options and 6MT.

AZ had a special running and I needed to use some expiring rewards cash. Quite the deal for about $30. 5qt STP (Amalie) Euro 5W-40, STP S10600XL oil filter, STP CAF1800C cabin filter.

Ahh, right on. Used to visit the lady's family in Shepherdsville long ago.

I took your replacement comment as if you replaced a Stinger with the EV6.
