2018 Jeep JL Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar, 50k miles
Out: Mobil 1 AFE 0w20, 4250 miles
In: Shell RGT 0w20, from my stash of clearance oil I bought 2 years or so ago.
Filter: Fram Ultra, no change with only 4250 miles on it. I'll keep this oil in there for 5k and will swap the filter at the next one. Plenty of life and capacity left in this one.
I did this OCI early due to a big off-road trip to the northern part of the Appalachian Byway coming up later this week. It was a no-brainer when I'm sitting on a stash of about 25 quarts of RGT that is now 1.5 to 2 years old. I'm also going to run it in my JK and Renegade, so we'll whittle it down.

2019 Hyundai Elantra base model. Friends car. 39k on vehicle. Champion filter and unknown 5w30 oil. Put some CarQuest 5w30 Syn HM and HYUNDAI/KIA OEM filter.
I agree. I didn't want or need the Ecoboost.
2009 Ford Fusion SE, 6 mo/12.5 km since last change
Out: Supertech FS 5W20, Wix Filter
In: Pennzoil Plat HM 0W20, Motorcraft Filter
Normally would have pushed this change another month or so to do it at the same time as my winter tires, but mileage was creeping up so did it early.
Lost about a quart of oil between changes, either burning or seepage. No big deal!

Great thinking in your country you got that OCI in before the snow flies!
136000 miles. And probably in it's last season before I replace it (AC conked out last month and don't want to spend money fixing it)
2003 VW Passat W8. 110,130 mi. 2,553 mi OCI.
Out: ~8L Liquimoly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40, ~0.6L LM MoS2, ~0.6L LM Motor Oil Saver, ~8oz Seafoam (for last ~150 miles), Hangste filter
In: 9L Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic European 5W40, Napa Gold filter ($24..holy crap!)
Had the dreaded stuck cam adjuster - v. common issue and one of the ones that gives the W8 its repuation. Is intermittent at this point, some times you start it and it's stuck/idles rough, restart and it's gone b/c the solenoid gets cycled and clears itself. Many in the W8 community have reported some flushing/Seafoam can help/sort it out, it's cheap, why not. Probably a piece of the oil screen stuck in there which is the usual culprit. Will run this for a few '00 miles, then flush with Liquimoy Engine Flush and refil with the Leichtlauf kit from FCP Euro - return what came out for Lifetime Replacement. The QSUD wasn't on sale beyond the normal $18 price for 5 qts, it's a rural Walmart and they haven't sold a jug in months...just sitting there on the bottom shelf looking sad. Maybe one day they will drop the price and I'll buy the rest. Perfect for this task!

What was you oil monitor reading?
0% for the last few weeks.
Car gets less driving since the virus . Will likely put more miles on it next round . Previous changes hover around 5,000 miles .I thought I was bad changing out my ST FS at 3234 miles at 7 months.
Now I feel better about it.
