Mother in law has had her 1.5t CRV for a year and finally got the maintenance light for oil at 3500mi. Since she’s a short tripper I gave her M1 5w-30 and a new filter, will probably do this once a year
Very rare on shelfs here in OKC/DFW region !!! Few weeks ago One WM store in DFW had a master case 2 of these 6qt boxes in one shipper box of Havoline Pro ds 5W20 full syn marked down to $22.XX. I confirmed with auto dept MOD just to make sure and he said "it is what its marked on clearance, I'm very busy are you ready to check out?" YESSSSSSSSSSSS SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if you're aware of the fuel dilution issues with this engine. If she's driving 3500 mi per year then once a year oil changes should be okay. You still might want to consider 2x/year to evacuate the fuel accumulation more frequently. But I suppose you should first get an oil analysis to confirm the issue is present in your particular vehicle.
1990 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue.
In all original condition, even original pin stripes are still on the car. Did a basic oil change with Pennzoil 10W-30 and Pennzoil filter. 130 000 miles on the clock.

You got your rebate back already?
Yeah I should clarify, I bought the oil last month and I submit the rebate form in the parking lot before I lose the receipt and got the rebate last week. So I’d say about 3 -4 week turn around. Rebate was in the form of visa giftcard. Sorry for the confusion, I bought 2 jugs one for the crv one for the Subaru.

I’m aware of this quite overblown concern with some of the 1.5t and honestly she’s never going to put enough miles on the car to accumulate any meaningful wear from potential dilution. I do use 5w-30 in all 3 of our 1.5t Hondas just because my personal 1.5 sees 15-20k miles a year and is a long term hold vehicle for me so I use 5w-30 and don’t feel like stocking multiple oils at home.
I’m more concerned about the head gaskets in the (2) 1.5T CRVs in the household than anything else, but my wife will likely upsize to a Sienna before the car is out of warranty and MIL will likely retire by the time her car is at 30k
How many miles before the diff and t case fluid change ?

OLM @ 13%
OCI: 3,994 miles, 237.9 hours (6-11-24 to 4-21-25)

I also changed the fuel filter (TP1015), ATF (drain and fill, 7.4 quarts) and spin-on trans filter (29539579), transfer case fluid (Starfire Synthetic Dex VI in the trans and transfer case) and the front and rear diffs (Starfire Synthetic 75w90).

This sounds like a rig that’d outlast me. Filters that are serviceable easily and fluids too. Man - hang on to this truck. After reading this, I want to look for one.
I really like the 17-19 Duramax trucks. They’re kind of the last true to form Duramax’s, in my opinion. They’ve still got the 6 speed Allison. The L5P Duramax has the Denso HP4 injection pump, so you don’t have to worry about the problematic CP4 like the older trucks. The fuel filter is easy to change unlike the LML.
I’m coming up on 7 years of ownership, I bought this truck used with 10k miles in December of 2018. I have no plans of letting it go any time soon.

First time user of the Valvoline R&P for this vehicle . Initial OCI set for 4,300 miles / 6 months then will adjust slightly if needed . Previously this vehicle got M1 5W30 EP or M1 0W30 ESP for severe duty OCI schedule (city driving) . Now moved to the country where 90% of usage is Highway or Interstate driving . *I’ll be curious just how much cleaning the VR&P does (no oil consumption problems) after previously running a good synthetic M1 oil previously for fairly short OCI’s its whole life.
