I changed my oil a few days ago. My car : Chevrolet Sonic 2016 hatchback. 1.4l turbo, 74500 kilometers total mileage (46292 miles) , mostly city driving here in Toronto, Canada, where it gets cold in winter and hot in summer. Mileage : I've driven 11500 kilometers, (7145 miles) since my last oil...

That's a good idea on the XG10246 FRAM Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter. I might try one the next time I buy a filter. The Ultra XG10246 is now available locally, at Partsource in Toronto, part of the Canadian Tire chain. But I still have a few Wix filters to use up.

I meant to change the oil at around 7500 miles, as recommended by the GM owners manual, but I was busy, and 8000 mile seems to be ok. And I'm using full synthetic. But I don't know that much about it, so maybe I'm wrong.

I bought four of the Wix filters from Amazon, last year in July 2019, $10.13 each. Now Amazon wants $17.24 ! Right now, I would buy the Fram Tough Guard TG10246 from Canadian Tire, regular price $17.50, but often on sale at 20% off.

I have previously used Fram Tough Guard TG10246 Cartridges. I posted pictures of my Fram Tough Guard TG10246 in a previous post. That filter looked quite similar to this Wix filter.

I changed my oil a few days ago. So 13000 kilometers, (8100 miles) since last oil change in July 2019. Chevrolet Sonic 2016 hatchback. 1.4l turbo, 63k kilometers (39146 miles) , mostly city driving here in Toronto, Canada, where it gets cold in winter and hot in summer. My last oil change was...

I'm not sure how long I'll leave the oil before photographing it. I'll have too see how it goes. But it will have to be the same time for every try. Any suggestions on how long ?

Last week I had my oil changed. Castrol Edge Synthetic. Wix filter. So i'm going to start a project where I'll take pictures of my engine oil once a month. To document the changes in my oils appearance as its used. I'll try to standardize the process. I'll wipe the oil off my dipstick with a...

The Fram Ultra filter XG10246, for my Chevy Sonic, interests me. But that particular model seems to be a rarity, locally and on the internet. So I'll stick to Fram Tough Guard or Wix, or similar.

I feel shafted by Amazon when it's thieving pricing algorithm jacks up the prices they want to charge me. For example, I recently bought 4 Wix filters from Amazon Canada, $10.13 Canadian each. Sold and shipped by Amazon. Now Amazon wants $14.99. 50% price increase. It's the same Amazon pricing...

Here's another picture of my used Fram Tough Guard TG10246 filter.

I don't see any captured particles.

I had my oil changed last week at Costco, in Toronto. Castrol Edge Synthetic oil. $60 Canadian. I brought my own filter, because Costco doesn't carry a filter for my car. And they don't give any discount for the customer bringing their own filter. Bad on you, Mr. Costco. I used a WIX 57674...
