Post your latest oil change

Pennzoil motor oil
2005 Lexus LS430, 4.3L 3UZ-FE V8, 54,500 miles
Toyota recommends OCIs at 5K, the OLM is an idiot light programmed to blink 500 miles and on solid at 5K.

Out: Kendall Liquid Titanium blend, 5w30, Toyota OEM filter
In: ServicePro 5w30 dexos 1 Gen 2(made by Warren), FU XG3614
 
2006 Civic, 146,000 miles

Out: Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w20 (2200 miles), Fram Ultra (8400 miles)
In: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w20 and a fresh Fram Ultra (will continue the practice of changing it every other time)

I changed the oil way earlier than usual because on the previous oil change it showed high fuel dilution so this was just a quick flush interval (and I ran a lot of fuel system cleaner through it) I was also anxious to get the Pennzoil Ultra Platium 5w20 in there. I did not take a sample for a used oil analysis, I'm down to my last two sample kits for Wearcheck and I am trying to save money so I will use those last two kits on my Corvette and then I won't need to buy a new 12 pack of kits for another year.

I actually enjoyed the freedom of not taking a sample on this oil change, as I didn't bother to go for a long drive to heat up the oil, I just changed the oil cold and loved not having to deal with hot oil.

Fram Ultra filter
 
2015 Kia K900 V8

Out: Valvoline SynBlend 5w-20, about 4500 miles on it, Blackstone sent in.

In: Scheaffer’s 9000 5w-20 and K&N PS-7029 filter. 7.61 quarts.


About 79k on this engine, still hums like an over fed big fat cat. Buttery Smoooth 5.0L.
 
2010 Hyundai 2.4L with 150k on the clock. 5k OCIs

Out: Pennzoil Platinum 5w-20 & OEM filter
In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 & Fram XG9688 filter.

Have always used OEM filters (still have about a dozen left), but bought a 10-pack of the XG9688 so am trying one now for the first time.

FYI: Know about the filter TSBs & watch out for fake OEM filters.......
 
2015 Ford Focus ST 34k miles, 2k miles since last oil change

Out: Chevron Supreme conventional 5w30 & Motorcraft filter (freebie from dealer)
In: Castrol Magnatec synthetic 5w30 & Motorcraft filter.

I get three free oil changes with conventional 5w30 a year from the dealer, but I'm not keen on running conventional oil for long in a DI turbo engine. So I've been alternating conventional with 2k mile OCIs and changing it myself with synthetic with 5k-6k OCIs.

Seems to be working well: No oil consumption, improving gas mileage, running stronger now than ever.

Chevron supreme is good oil you could run that to 5,000 intervals. My neighbor runs his Saab turbo on Formula Shell 5w30 for a minimum 6 months or 5,000 miles
