Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

2010 Forte. 191k on motor. 4100 miles on oil. 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30, 3.25qts PP Euro L 5W-30 and topped off with 3/4 qt along the way.

Pennzoil UP 0w20 at 4,100 miles. This oil looks like it can handle 7,500 miles easy. What do you guys say?

Funny those stainless look dipsticks make oil look great. Color shouldn't dictate the life of a oil but the last time I saw a dipstick like yours the 8100 mile oil came out coal black even though it looked like new on the dipstick....
 
Because it is the BITOG way. I rented a 15ft U-Haul trick and auto transport for a one way from NY to VA. Of course I checked the oil before I did the 500 miles. It was in between marks but low side for me. I threw in 3/4qt of plain vanilla M1 5W-30 and brought it to full.

The truck part was a 2025 Ford E450 with just over 1000 miles on it. I didn't know they were still making/selling the Econoline thing. I thought it was all Ford Transit's now. Quick search shows it as the dual axle cutaway at cab for the box trucks. This thing was BASIC. Not even power mirrors or windows. At least it had a plain single DIN radio that connected via USB plug or Bluetooth.

The dipstick is like a cork screw.

Did it have cruise control?
 
'17 Accord - 613 miles on VRP 0W-20, 122k on the motor. It's hard to see the line for full (about 1/8" below top dot).
