Post your latest oil change

Year is almost over, so we'll see the final tally for most used oils on the forum soon enough. Looks like Valvoline has made huge strides in popularity here this year, and I think we'll see Pennzoil with a lower take rate than last year.

The R and P oil

There have always been "darlings" of BITOG over the years. We've cycled through Schaeffer oil, Maxlife, GC 0w30 (green formula), Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and many more, and now it's R&P. It sure does appear that this oil can do what it claims, and at under $30 it's priced a lot less than other boutique oils that can very likely do that same job of cleaning.

Ahhh, good ole green GC. Still miss it, though I have no need of a thick 30 any more. It didn’t just look cool, it even smelled special. I guess only an oil nut would react this way. I still wonder whether Castrol just put some fluorescent green dye into it as a bit of humor to see whether they could get oil geeks riled up. If that was the intent, well, obviously it worked!;)

ANYWAY, just did a first oil change on the 2025 Camry, having just reached 1,000 miles. Used vacuum extractor to remove the FF, replaced factory filter (looks just like the one from the dealer, but different part number); replaced with Mobil-1 AFE 0w-8 and a dealer sourced OEM filter. I plan to do next changes at 5k and 10k. I'm going to do some UOA, mainly out of curiosity, but haven't decided when to start.

Yesterday

2003 Corolla:

Out- ST 15w40/Fram EG
In - ST HM 10w30, Bestline, Fram EG

251,822 miles

Had wife let Walmart do oil change on the Mazda last week.

Out- Valvoline R&P 5w30/ Fram TG
In- Synthetic 5w30, not sure on the filter I need to check the receipt. An interesting note, even though this oil change came off of having just run BG EPR, The oil was really dark. One other small thing, over the course of the OCI the level went down about 3/4 of a quart. Never noticed any measurable loss before on this motor will keep an eye this oil change.

82,900 miles

Concerning my daughter's and grandson's vehicles....
I never purchase from the bulk tanks. I bring my own oil and that way you know how much fresh oil you're getting. They use a Valvoline oil filter and charge me $25 - give me a bottled water - vacuum the interior floor - top-off fluids and correct the four tires air pressures.
