Post your latest oil change

1999 MB CLK320 147k miles. Oil 5345 miles

Out Amsoil Euro Classic 5W-40 and Mann fleece filter - sending sample to Blackstone
In - Emptying stash - 7Q Redline 5W-30, 1Q M1 FS 0W-40, and 1/2Q of regular M1 5W-30, and Mahle fleece filter
I know, only one quart is actually "approved". But at this point, "recommended" is probably good enough.

2007 Captiva 2.0 Common Rail TurboDiesel.

Out 10,000km (give or take)
5 litres Helix Ultra AG 5W30.
1 litre Nulon 25W60
Actually more than that, the oil was over full on the dipstick (fuel on these things)

In
5 Litres Helix Ultra AG 5W30
1 Litre Nulon 25W60
 
2008 6 liter Chev 3/4 ton Suburban
Out: PP 5-30
In: Valvoline Syn Power 5-30
Used a Fram 10575 normally used in 2014+ Chev 5.3 but has 9-15 psi bypass.
Mileage 170,000 miles OCI: 10,200 miles (from OLM) No city driving.
 
Six quarts of Valvoline Maxlife semi-syn with el-cheapo (trial) Premium Guard filter (1.47 at Rockauto)
Expected OCI of 6 months/6K. Vehicle is 2004 Chevy Colorado 3.5 with 116K.

This will be my 1st OCI where I failed to do a mixologist blend involving two different brands and/or weights.... in several years. Reason-being is the introduction to a Maxlife-type oil. Not really a need for my engine thou. Oil was given to me by a next door neighbor and I only needed to buy one Maxlife quart to fill my crankcase of six quarts.

2017 Outback 2.5; 5814 miles; Purolator PBL14610 and Valvoline Advanced Synthetic 0W-20. Previous change was at @980 miles with Purolator PBL14615 and Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20.

Separately, no oil consumption at all based on routine checking of levels between the first and second oil changes - did not top off at all. And seat of the pants observation - was pleased with the cleanliness of the Pennzoil that came out, and every time its appearance on a white paper towel when checking levels. Have driven ~1499 miles on the Valvoline and no issues thus far.

2013 F150 5.0 @ 96846 miles

Out: Edge 5W20 and Purolator Boss

In: Edge D1 gen2 5W-30 with an Ultra 10575

I don't have a favorite oil or filter anymore, just whatever interests me at the moment of purchase time. Although, I would like to get on one oil and stick with it. Maybe Edge 5W-30 will be it.

I cut the Boss open and yup...it had the little cuts in the anti-drain back valve. The filter itself was great. I have learned how to post pictures, but I was busy and forgot to take pics before leaving home. Now I'm 2000 miles away from home and on an assignment that keeps me out for several weeks. Will post pics next time I get home.
