Car: 2004 Saturn ION 2.2 EcoTec 5-spd.

Out: PP 5w30/Fram Ultra, 8K miles.
In: PP 5w30/Fram Ultra.

I felt bad changing it. Based on color alone I could have gone 12K or longer... maybe good filtration, maybe good oil, maybe engine is easy on oil (as I have read). Science is science and right now I'm on 8K OCI/FCI with UOA to determine a baseline wear & OCI/FCI with my engine.
 
Car: 2007 Hyundai Sonata 3.3L

Out: PP 5W-20/OEM Filter, 11,000 miles
In: PP 5W-20/Fram Filter

I remember a few years ago, before I found BITOG, wringing my hands because I was approaching 5000 miles on my oil. I drove the car like a granny until I could change the oil. I wouldn't say I was happy taking this car to 11K, but it was much less stressed about it.
 
2000 Buick Lesabre 141,300
Mobil 1 High Mileage 10w30 and Promotive/Purolator out

Mobil 1 5w30 High mileage and Wix/Affina Partsmaster branded filter in

If I can find a way I'm going do a cut and post on the Purolator and see if its torn.
