Post your latest oil change

Fredxt, if u don't mind could you share your experience with SmartStream engine? How does it feel? 😀
I have just got the car a week ago. It's very responsive and kind of has too much torque for the FWD version. Totally satisfied with the engine power, I just want it to last longer. Main concern is the wet clutch DCT which already has had a recall (236), but this one shift super smooth, no complaints.
I also checked car complaints website, there is not much bad words about the 2022 version, kind of odd for a Hyundai
 
2006 Toyota Sequoia 4.7 V8
Miles on Oil: 4,501, 3.5 months
Out: Pennzoil Platinum HM 5w-30, Toyota Denso 90915-YZZD3 Oil Filter
In: Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 5w-30 + Mobil 1 Euro for the remaining 1.5 quarts, Same Filter

Had minor consumption with the Pennzoil initially, but think this was caused by switching brands (which has been reported to start consumption at times). Anyways back to Mobil 1 as it was back in stock.

Based on a strictly "price point" there are much better value proposition oils that are not AutoZone only location specific.

I had to try it, but the price alone is too much of a turn off for me, even if it is a A+++++ oil over $50 for 6 qts of oil is excessive.

2014 Mercedes E350
Odometer: 100,000 miles
OCI: 10,000 miles

Out & in: M1 FS Euro 0W-40 & Purflux filter

I have been very impressed with how well the Purflux filters hold up after 10k miles. Except for the oil, they look like new at the end. I also am very happy with the performance of the M1 FS Euro. I took a peek down through the oil fill opening, and from what I could see, there is absolutely no oil staining or residue. That says a lot, considering I follow the MB recommended 10k mile oci.

I was disappointed by my Mityvac 7400, though. It wouldn't build suction. I have rebuilt it once, in the past. But that only lasted for 2 or 3 oil changes, so it went in the trash. I guess I'll be finding a new one.

In:

Engine runs smoother while startup and running noise was reduced. Interesting.
I like your new brew going back in
