It was warmish out, so figure I'd get the vehicle's OCI changed now vs mid-winter.

In: Same
2007 4Runner 4.0, roughly 4000 on OCI

2016 Altima with 16,365. 3,500 OCI
Out Val Synpower 5W30, Fram TG
In Val Synpower 5W30 OEM filter
Short OCI, wanted to see if it would quieten down the engine noise and it did. Also I need to use up my stash of oil and filters before I die of old age. I do make a lot of short trips of 5 miles or less.

2005 Toyota Avalon, 92,284 miles
Out: Valvoline Full Synthetic with MaxLife 5W-30, OEM 04152-YZZA1 Filter - 2,388 miles
In: 6.5 qts Amsoil SS5W-30, OEM 04152-YZZA1 filter
Changed the oil since I had the front on jack stands to replace noisy wheel bearings. Amsoil should be good for 25,000 miles or 1 year.

Honda Civic of the year 2017..(yes, I know, new age it is and shall be)
Out:
Factory Fill with crazy 500+ ppm of moly from FACTory. Gonezo.
In: Honda Full Synthetic 0w-20 with Honda stock filter
This is a 5800 mile, say almost 6000 miles on a FF that was wanting out at 3500 per MMS system only. (and I suppose some math) But with that much moly, the Viscosity Index was high and someone did a UOA on it and TBN was good up to 5800 miles so I nailed it? (I know cause the TBN was still in the 3.x range for a 4800 mile UOA and OCI)

The Maintenance Minder wanted an oil change 3,500 miles? That's the lowest I've heard for any Honda. Lots of short-tripping?
Did you have a UOA done or is this from a different car? Generally, gong further than the oil life monitor suggests is a bad idea, especially if the reason is because someone who may have had different driving conditions had a UOA that suggested longer was OK. Plus it's a great way to screw up your warranty.

2012 Accord K24, 77660 car, 8537 oil, run 6/18/17-11/20/17. MM about 100 miles past 15%.

In:
M1 AFE 0W-20, M1 OF
Honda allows two OCIs for an oil filter, but I never do this since it seems no more than penny-wise to me.

You paid for Amsoil? I'm rather surprised.

Oh about that, a UOA was done on a 4800 indicating TBN as well as wear would have normalized at 6800 miles, just 1000 more but I went exactly that amount and TBN was at 3.x so it could have gone up to 5800 miles.

+1. Two oil runs on one filter doesn't make since to me either.
