Post your latest oil change

2006 Honda Civic (recently bought from my son as a 2nd car beater)
164,818 miles on the clock
OUT: not sure I think Super Tech 5w-20
Unknown miles on oil. (MM showed 40%)
In: Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-20
I figured this car may be a perfect candidate for R&P considering the miles and the unknown nature of the maintenance history.
Oil Filter:
Out: Honda OEM
In: Microgard
 
2011 Toyota Yaris 3 door hatchback with 124k miles on the clock. This will be my new 100 mile daily driver, replacing my former totaled 2012 Yaris sedan that happened earlier this month. Did a double BG EPR engine flush with the old unknown jobber oil, followed by a Delvac ESP on the second flush. I know this is absolutely overkill though since its a used vehicle so I wanted to take the upmost precaution to get it highway ready for the months ahead without worrying.

What went out: Parts Plus Jobber filter PH2840

What went in: Purolator Boss PBL20195 as a flush filter for 2 rounds, will cut and post these 2 filters later.

First 30 min Flush: Unknown jobber oil + BG EPR

Second 30 min Flush: Delvac ESP 5W-40 + BG EPR

Followed by HPL HD5W40CK4 and Fram FS3600 with magnets as the final fill the road ahead. Probably will run it 5k for baseline oil sampling then switch to HPL SuperCar 5W-40 at 10k.

'25 KIA Soul LX ( new ) : 2.0 Ltr. (M.P.I.) w/ C.V.T. :

OUT : Factory oil and oil filter ( 612 miles )

IN : Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20 ( S.P.,G.F. - 6A ) w/ HYUNDA/KIA 26300-35505

Owner's manual states 4.23 quarts and replaced with around 4.25 quarts and still reads a bit below the FULL mark . Thinking of adding 8 ounces more . Any owner know the exact amount ? 4.5 to FULL mark ? Is finicky with readings of dipstick .

Congratulations on the new Soul. Probably the only K/H vehicle I would buy. Don't know why but I have never heard anyone really unhappy with one.
 
2021 Hyundai Tucson - future DIL's vehicle.

23770 on vehicle, 3457 on the oil. They did a couple longer road trips to visit friends last 2 weeks so went past the 3k MM we set :eek: . Still a couple days short of the 6 month from last time.

Out - Mobil FS 5W-30, OEM filter.
In - 4 1/8 qts. Mobil FS 5W-30, OEM filter. We started with 4 and added the 1/8 at gas station where check all mine nice and flat. It's now right at bottom of full line on dipstick. Easier to remember if it's getting diluted since it will go past the line then.

Do you think it's totaled? Should I remove a qt and sacrifice it to the petroleum gods then top off with MMO? Step away from the keyboard being happy it actually saw highway miles for some extended drive time?

I don't recall seeing it in the past, maybe just how sun was today but had some oil around dipstick hole and across the valve cover. Probably drips from checking it. Cleaned it all up with some brake cleaner and will monitor. Possibly a dipstick O-ring issue but it's tight and wasn't pushed up any that I could tell.

Next OCI will be a blend of something. I only have 2qts of the Mobil FS left from the Amazon sale when I bought it. Unless I use that up in something else prior. The rest of my stash currently has PP Euro-L, VRP, HPL PCEO.

Hey, your 2.5 qts of 10w30 and 2 qts of 0w16 Frankenblend is from the same Lubrication College I attended in the 1970s. The doors never close there. We can even walk-in on Christmas Day and wake up Santa. & his Herd
Hats off to you Bud.
