I go through stages. I was doing 10K changes with a factory filter change in between. From a price point it’s not really worth it. Saves time that’s about it. I’ll be going back to every six month changes. Love their other products though.
Post your latest oil change

2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, 24,978 miles on vehicle, 4,978 miles/9 months on oil.
Out: Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30, OEM Hyundai/Kia Filter
In: Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30, OEM Hyundai/Kia Filter
I had initially decided I was going to do 6 month intervals due to warranty, but decided I really am not worried about the warranty on this, not any real issues with this motor.
I am just going to stick with a 5,000 mile interval regardless of time with synthetic oil and OEM filters.
I was trying to wait till exactly 25,000 miles, but will be driving about 120 miles tomorrow.

Kinda like the blue pill
2018 VW Golf Sportwagen. 1.8L Stage 2 IS20. ~45.5K on car. ~5.5K on oil.
Out. 6L Liquimoly Molygen 5W40 + Mann filter with Liquimoly Proline Engine Flush and sample sent to BS
In. 6L Liquimoly Molygen 5W40 + Mann filter
No consumption.
Will return the used oil to FCP for a full refund using their lifetime replacement guarantee. Shipping is $21 in a USPS large flat-rate box.
Also did plugs (Denso IKH24s - also use FCP's lifetime replacement on these) all to get ready for the IS38 Golf R turbo going in and of course rotated the tires.

Just got done changing oil on the 530i. The pump handle on my Top-Sider broke half way through the extraction - no fun.
Same oil type and filter as before.
4,500 miles and 16 months on this last run.

*Ever considered using a Fram Ultra Oil Filter 20K Mile ? I use in my '17 Sonata with no issues and better smaller filtering capability . I use for two 4,000 mile OCI's with PP 5W30 then change the filter(GDI engine = soot) , so price is the same as a Hyundai OEM filter . While the Hyundai oil filter is built well - the filtering media is only so-so .
I had, but the XG10855 did not exist until ~April/May of 2019. I had already bought 4 OEM filters for $30.
Also, I just can't make myself use a filter for multiple intervals.
I know it is fine to do so, but just can't make myself do it (although I am planning on a long term use of an Ultra on my F150).
I am not one that is convinced that better filtration than OEM makes a huge difference in engine longevity.
I actually just ordered 4 more OEM filters for $32 shipped last night.
Grand niece's 2013 Civic LX, 1.8L, 92K miles, 6K OCI
Out: 4 quarts M1 0w20
In: 4 quarts Kirkland 0w20. Left Fram XG7317
I reset the MM; it said there was 70% life remaining. Sheesh.
This little 4 banger does not burn a drop.

Curious, what is FCP stand for? Sorry if it’s been mentioned but I haven’t been on here in forever and haven’t read through all the forums.

Thank you
Worth checking out if you have a Euro car - great place for parts and they all have a lifetime guarantee/100% replacement. I get all my consumables from them, pay once and then get a refund for everything moving forward. Rub is shipping obviously but if you are smart and combine things like I do with my oil changes, it's a great deal.
