But the owners manual and top of oil cap says.........
Then the thin crowd will say for potentially better MPG you could try 0W-16
.0w-20, 5w-20, 5w-30, 0w-40 if you have it, rock it. Use up and rotate stash if possible.

My 2013 Hyundai Elantra has nothing for a OLM or even a mileage maintenance reminder. Have to old school put a oil change sticker in the windshield if I want a reminder.

Noticed the left front CV shaft boot spitting grease all over, so that will go in for a CV shaft replacement soon. Must have occurred with the last 1361 miles because it was not like that when I rotated the tires a couple weeks ago.

From what I've read on forums you'd think "Volvo" means "sludge" in English. Just joking guys. But they do seem prone to oil consumption.
Congrats, I can see your tail wagging driving that beauty!!!2024 Ram 2500 6.4:
Out- Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w40/ Mopar Filter

14,498 miles. 2,916 miles and 8 months on interval. Was very surprised to see that the dealer used a Mopar filter. Last vehicle I purchased there they used a Mighty branded one.
Love this truck! Haven't even put 3,000 miles on it since Black Friday but a joy every time I get behind the wheel

Starting in the early 2010s when they went to low tension piston rings and 10000mi oil changes and their first stan at di 4 cylinder turbo.
I have or maintain 7 of these:
4 with the 6 cyl (turbo and non turbo), that don't burn any, maybe a 1/4 qt. over the 5k oci. Use
Mobil 1 FS 0w40 or Valvoline Restore and Protect.
2 with the t5 (Volvo extended warranty due to oil burning) that I solved with a berrymans soak and 5k changes with extra quality oil (better than A5/b5 spec; a40 mb 229 and/or bmw ll) before they extended the warranty. Using Valvoline Restore and Protect now because why not
. The one I own, I started doing 5k changes with a5/b5 oil around 30k and it still wound up burning at about 70k. I think the first few 10k runs with dealer slop got the rings gummed up already. Soak at 70k and at 130k now with 1/2 qt max consumption over 5k.1 with the 4 cylinder turbo, using Volvo rbs spec oil 0w20. Uses no oil either. Its a later, 2019, vea engine where they solved the oil burning issues.
With the exception of the early 4 cylinder turbo vea engines, there's a way to have them not burn oil. The early vea's need new pistons and rings. No amount of oil changes or oil quality will stop those.

Oil change day. From the bottom as the Lord intended.

Sample sent off to Blackstone.
Water pump not leaking but the accessory bracket/oil heat exchanger seals should be done at some point and I'll likely do them when I pull things apart to do the auxillary cooler I have to install.
