Post your latest oil change

[Patman]

I believe the (dollar per dollar) Oil Filter Best Buy right now are the Carquest Premium Blues. They have holes too.
Recently caught an Advance Auto Parts online sale at $7.99 each. I'm done with louvers.

I wish I had known this sooner but the Carquest that is near my condo (so close that I can actually see it from my window!) sells the Premium filters for my cars for only $8.04 Canadian, that’s $5.84 US at the current exchange rate! Hopefully it will continue being a well made filler for a long time! These days things change so fast in the oil filter industry that a filter can go from hero to zero overnight (Fram Endurance I’m talking about you!)

Used what was on hand....Valvoline 5W40 Euro (normally have 5W30 or 0W40), Austrian made Mahle. I prefer Castrol 5W30 and Hengst, but don't really think it matters that much.

Interestingly, the Valvoline website says this does not fit my car. But when I select 5W30, it preselects this, very strange! Talk about an upsell. On top of selling 5 gallons, it even adds 2 more individual quarts. They need a better algorithm.

Dads 2002 Dakota 2wd truck

161,800 miles, VWB 10w30 and Baldwin B-34 filter off. Old oil had 3,599 miles on it.

In/on: ROTELLA SM T5 10w30 and 1 quart HPL EC 30. MOPAR M0-090 MADE IN ISA FILTER.

DIDNT SEE ANY METAL FLAKES IN CAN; just lots of small carbon tiny bits.

One of the reasons I tend to use OEM. At least they are consistently mediocre IME

No mention of Triple Action on the jug's front cover. Yet the oil is fresh, since the 50th Year Celebration is this year (2024)

Triple Action is just a marketing phrase.

 

[Triple_Se7en]

Triple Action is just a marketing phrase.

I don't think so.
I was a harsh critic of Mobil-1 engine clatter UNTIL I found 5w/10w30 Mobil-1 EP. All of a sudden Mobil-1 became quiet in our engines and no longer produced oil consumption.

It (TA) may be hype or baloney with other oil producers thou. So I can't say the phrase works correctly for everyone.

 

[YZJB]

2022 Ford Fiesta ST 1.5L ‘Dragon’ EcoBoost, 6sp manual.

5949km on the car, 1267km/6 months on the oil.

Out: Nulon APEX+ Long Life 5W-30
Filtron oil filter
In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30
Purflux oil filter

The Restore and Protect is the quietest oil I’ve run in this engine so far. Noticeably smoother and quieter.

 

[JoelB]

My Accent:

Out: Mobil 1 0w20 AFE, OEM Filter
In: Mobil 1 0w20 AFE, Fram XG12782 (5oz MoS2)

Dealer went from $13 per filter to $23 per filter and I just don't see it being worth it. Fram was $13 I believe.

Honda PCX:

Out: QSUD 10w30
In: Valvoline VR1 Synthetic 10w30

While I wont be racing my scooter I'm hoping the high RPM and Anti-foaming portion of this oil will be more beneficial than a standard automotive oil. Also wow this stuff is very BLUE.

Going to extend this OCI out some with those two golden products?

Going to extend this OCI out some with those two golden products?

The filter maybe, maybe not. The oil, depends on whats the first oil sample data to determine that decision.
