2009 Pontiac G5; 2.2L Ecotec; 143,875mi.

Out: Motomaster conv. 10W-30, STP synthetic oil treatment, MOPH 9018 filter.
7331 miles on oil and filter.

In: Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30, MOPH 9018 filter.

Had oil changed at my shop while having tires changed and other work done. PP on sale for $24/jug.
 
2006 Infiniti M45 with 148K on vehicle and 4700K on oil.

Out: Mobil 1 0W40 and Fram XG7317 filter (about 4.75 qts drained out)

In: 6 qts of Castrol 0W40 and Fram XG7317 filter.

I added 1 qt of M1 0W40 at the 2700 mi mark of the previous oil change. Calculated about 1 qt consumption per 2100 miles. 6 qts in + 1 qt added - 4.75 qts out = 2.25 qts consumed in 4700 mi. 4700/2.25 = 1 qt consumed per 2089 mi.

The M1 was sent in for analysis. The VK45DE engine is known for oil consumption and I've read up to 1 qt per 1200 miles is normal:
