2017 Pacifica
3.6L Pentastar
~104,000 miles currently
Brief history: I have used PP0w20 at OLM intervals (approx 10k) since we got it at around 40/45k. Past life was a rental iirc. Over the last several oil changes, It would use 1qt/5000 miles
Don't remember exactly why I made the change. I think I was kicking around switching from PP 0w20 to HPL 0w20 or 5w20 to see if it would clean up the oil consumption (a stretch I know, but why not experiment when it won't hurt anything). I know I went with 0w20 over 5w20 to not make too many changes at once. So it was just an oil type change, not a viscosity grade change.
Probably wanted to cheap out a little because the van doesn't get driven much anymore as my wife and I work together and we drive my truck most days and my truck is the family vehicle. When it does get driven, it's a decent highway drive.
Sitting right around 50% on the OLM, it's at 5 months and about 5000 miles (guessing, no I don't keep detailed records for my wife's car) in where it should have used a qt of oil and its currently sitting no more than 1/4qt low. I checked it at the gas station yesterday, not my official oil level checking location.
I was not expecting this much reduction. I'm impressed.
