Post your latest oil change

Another oil change this evening.

Wife's 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT, 6 speed manual

Out: Mobil 1 High Mileage 5W-20, Champ 2867XL
in service for 1 year, 1 month, and 28 days. 4,378mi.

In: Castrol GTX Ultraclean 5W-20, Mann W811/80

This change based on more on time than miles. As a spare car, it sits sometimes and takes short trips, so I figured 14 months was enough.
 
Forgot my last 2 so here they are. Same vehicle

2015 Fiesta ST with a bigger turbo

Out: Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30
FE3600

In: Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30
ST3614

Just now:
Out Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30

Carquest P85516

I was impressed with the AFE. Car ran great with it.

Also changed out the gearbox fluid:

Pontiac G6 2007 original owner work beater now it was just a always around car .On a 6 month oil change don't put many miles on it. OLM was on 60% 1770 miles since last change 6 months ago 1qt make up oil on Pennzoil High Mileage conventional 10w30 was in bought cheap at home Depot. All short trips for most of its life. Jobber filter bought cheap on Amazon held up well no buckling. In Valvoline HM 5/30 I had in the garage other option was Castrol 10/40 HM I'll use that come spring.. With 5/30 I need to check oil level more often seems to use more oil with it . Also changed windshield washer nozzle both broken long winter mornings if I didn't fix. Driver side works passenger still no good I had to cut hose 2 inches now to short..I'm fine with driver side. Did notice underneath the car the front where engine cradle mounts to the frame is rotting out a little I'm ignoring and keep driving until it's finished

Friend's 2012 Nissan Xterra @ 64,007 mi.
Valvoline Advanced 5W-30 both OUT and IN.
Some WIX OUT, a Fram Ultra IN.
~3k on oil as my friend said it was black...and I was around.
An opportunistic oil change (ha-ha)

edit: And there'll be one tomorrow...he just called to inform me he bought oil and a filter for his other vehicle.
Hey, it's mutual. We go way back.

2015 Mazda 5 at 200,000.
Wix filter, prefilled, gasket smeared. 5qt Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 and some leftovers from the last change.
Spun the filter on and twisted maybe 1/3rd until my oily hands slipped. Torqued the plug a gentlemanly amount.
Suck/fill the teensy power steering rez with Amsoil ATF. Still darkish red/plum. Still haven't done it more often.
