2005 325i

267k km

Out = 5W30 LL01 (Forgot Brand) + Mann Filter

In = 5W40 Castrol + Mann Filter

Around 18k to 20k OCI. Don't know when I changed it. Going by onboard computer which uses burnt fuel to calculate OCI.
 
Just changed the oil in the Tacoma, out went 7500 miles on Mobil 1 0w40 10k on filter. Oil and filter looked like they could keep going for quite some time but I have some busy time coming up and thought I better do it this weekend.

In went 6 quarts of Havoline Pro DS 10w30 and 6 ounces of M1 0w40 and a K&N synthetic cartridge filter.
Just under 30 k on the truck. It's a6-700 mile a week warrior lately.
 
2016 GTI

Out Motul 5-40 at roughly 4000 miles.

In Kirkland 5-30 with factory 06L 115 562 Mann filter

Car makes 500whp and 32psi so I use a shorter interval.
 
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 58,000 miles out 0W-20 Castrol Magnetic Synthetic/ In same brand and weight oil/ I had approximately 4,000 miles on the oil and kept the same Mobil 1 filter which only had 4,000 miles on it as well. I also put a new battery in it just because it's under the passenger seat and I didn't want my wife to be stuck at work or somewhere in below zero weather and have to change it out.

Out - Was originally M1 15W50 but leaked like all get out after the oil pressure switch busted and I didn't find it till after I put in several quarts of whatever I could get my hands on, mostly HDEO.

In: Pentosin Pentohigh performance II 5W40 + Ceratec, Mahle filter with 3 magnets on it.
 
Out: 5W20 synthetic (hopefully) from out of town Honda dealer + A02 filter
In: the usual (see signature)
OCI: 5200 mi (40% oil life remaining on Maintenance Minder, but I wanted to get the good stuff in there ASAP)

While I was down there, I found that one of the springs that hold the front pipe to the exhaust manifold was missing. Got all the parts from the Honda dealer the next day and replaced them. What a PITA. The remains of the spring bolt were quite rotted, and kept snapping shorter and shorter whenever I put a socket or bolt extractor on it. Even after repeated heating and application of penetrating lube. But I got it done.

2009 Chevy Malibu LTZ. Has only had Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 in the sump since i bought the car in 2012 with 41k miles.

Refilled tonight with PPHM and a Wix XP filter at 117,500 miles. Oci im unsure because i didnt write it down so ran OLM to 50% which is usually where it ends up. Have always done 5k mile intervals. Never had a problem with timing chain or guides which is a problem with older 3.6 engines

My boss' Tahoe

6QTS ProLine 5W30 syn + BG MOA
Purolator Tech filter

My last personal oil changes;

My 98 Civic, ODO 193969 at time of change
Out; 4QTS Royal Purple 5W30 & KN Gold filter
In; 4QTS Castrol Edge 10W30 & KN Pro Silver filter (was broke)
Next oil change due 196969

My 07 Titan, ODO 101234 at time of change 1-23-19
Out; 7QTS Castrol Edge 5W30, filter I dont want to admit to using (only did once)
In; 7QTS Royal Purple 5W30, Napa Platinum filter
Next oil change due as soon as I can afford it since its been so long

01 Highlander I'm selling, ODO 278XXX at time of change
Out; 5QTS Castrol Edge 5W30, KN Gold filter
In; 5QTS Peak full syn 5W30, Bosch 3330
Next oil change due never. It uses so much oil now that I just add it as needed. Filter change due meh whenever I get the chance. Cars junk. No need to spend a pile of dough on it. Just get the cheapest stuff on sale.

Normally for conventionals I'll run

-Formula Shell and cheapest filter I can find for old beaters. Something like my buddies 98 Escort with 300K, or his 97 Dodge with a ga zillion city miles fits that bill.
$10 for 5 quart jug...cant beat it.
Next I want to try Tractor Supply Co brand

-Castrol GTX and a Napa Gold/Wix for a good conventional
My dad swore by this oil every 3K

Normally for synthetics;
-O Reilly Full Synthetic and Wix/Napa Gold Or KN Silver PS
I like using on a budget.
-Castrol Edge and a Napa Platinum or KN Gold
I like using when I do a lot of highway driving.
-Royal Purple and above filter
I like using when I drive down dirt roads daily. Keeps my engine spotless for the first 3k I use it. It's amazing the stresses mountain driving puts on a vehicle.

^^^That's my personal oil hierarchy^^^

2008 Suburban 3/4 ton, 6.0 200,100 miles
Out: QSUD 5w30
In: Pennzoil Euro LX 0w30

Decided to start off the traditionally cold season with fresh 0w30 oil. (Changed it a bit early at 4,000 miles.) Kept the existing Fram Ultra 10060 on for a second run.
The kV100 is 11.9 sCt, making it a high side w30. My filter and combined oil volume in the passage ways total 1 cup.
