Post your latest oil change

No photos this time around, but I did a flush, intake cleaning and change on my 2019 Kia sportage with 105k miles, initially filled with dealer oil 5W20 when we got it last month. Then, over the last 6k miles ives topped off with what I had, which was about 3 qts of QS Euro 5W40 and then probably another 4qts of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30.

I started by putting 1 bottle of Redline in a nearly empty tank and filled with 93 TopTier fuel from Citgo. (side note: I had previously ran Royal Purple's Max Clean with a full tank of 93 TT and their max atomizer back to back with 93 TT in half tanks each)

About half a tank and a day later, this morning I added 1 can of BG EPR and ran that through for about 15 minutes at 1200 rpm.

Next, without draining the sump, I used CRC for 1 second bursts at 2000 rpm into the throttle body until empty.

While it was heat soaking, I drained the oil and filled with 5qts of Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W30, and replaced the dealer oil filter (forgot the brand, it was a generic looking white canister) with a Fram 10k filter. I let it soak some more, about 30 minutes, until it was time to test drive it. I also replaced the PCV valve.

After about 40 miles since the CRC and oil flush/change, I think the rough idle has finally been resolved. Will be interesting to see how this effects the oil consumption too.

Doing my next change at 110k miles (about a 5k oci).
 
2019 Subaru Impreza Sport. 23,772 miles on car.
2193 miles on oil and filter. 6 month change.
Out PUP 0W-20
Off: Wix 57055
In: VPR 5W-20
On: Wix 57055

Also changed cabin air filter with a TYC with charcoal and Engine air filter with a Fram Ultra. All 60 month service stuff.

Edit: Will be adding a can of BG 44k Platinum when I fill up next weekend for my trip to Wildwood and sometime after that I'll add a can of B12. I only do the B12 once a year.

That's the Theta II engine for you! And yet there's people out there with the same engine who don't burn any oil between changes. Before the Kia I had a 2017 Hyundai Sonata with the same engine, burned oil. So I'm 0/2 on non-oil burning Hyundai/Kias.

It's really not that serious though, especially for an anal car but like myself

With B12 being absurdly less expensive and more available, which do you like better? How much of both have you tried?

I've used B12 but not the 44k yet.

I haven't used it in the Impreza yet. I find the B12 gives me better mpg but that may just be in my mind cause I can't understand why it would. I personally like to use a regular injector cleaner and the B12 since they are usually different. I "believe" one is a detergent and the other is more of a solvent. I could be wrong though.

The filter was still in excellent condition after two OCIs.
