Post your latest oil change

73 GMC one ton crew cab, 355 10.5:1 234/240 .050 cam, 1.6/1.5 rockers 116 LSA: out: 15w40 Duron CI-4+ from 2007, in Pet-Can supertest TO-4+ SAE 30 X-long Baldwin filter.
10 years of moving the truck around the yard, it was time to change the oil that smelled like gasoline.
Tomorrow the same on a 327 hottie in a 82 Chev monster truck, but it has only been sitting for 6 years or so.

2008 Acura RDX w/ 110k

Out: PP 5W-30, Fram Ultra XG 7317
In: Castrol Edge EP 5W-30, Fram Ultra XG 7317

The RDX is such an easy change. Always 5 qts out, 5 qts in, easy access to the filter. The SAABs always take more level-checking.
 
1983 Saab 900 GLE, 125.000km. OCI ~4700km.






out: cheap Mannol 10w-40 + Champion C165
in: Mobil1 5w-50 peak life + Mann w712/80

Vehicle has a history of neglect by the previous (female) owners. Had lots of sludge when I bought it and required a head rebuilt and a new timing chain @ barely 108.000km. I am running very short OCIs to clean her up.

When I got out the oil filter, I found this nice thing on the baseplate (had not yet entered through the entrance holes). One side rough textured as shown in the picture, the other side smooth and shiny. Not sure whether carbon or varnish. It is semi-brittle - can be bend a bit before it breaks.




So far for "don't be afraid, there is no blocks of junk braking of and wandering through your engine, new oil will just gently dissolve the deposits..."

Have filled a sample for UOA and have saved the filter for a c&p.
