A year has passed and I've only put about 2000 more miles on the car. So I changed the oil.... 3028 miles on the ODO, same oil and filter.
Seemed a waste to dump the old oil, so I saved it and will use it in one of my winter cars. The Subaru dealer calls and emails all the time, warning me I will endanger my warranty by not changing the oil often enough. LOL I will wear out the drain plug before that!

Is Blatz still available? If so I might pick up a 40 oz to go with my PBR...

2005 Buick LaCrosse CXL 3800 Series III engine, 152,000 miles.
I just purchased this car to replace another '05 LaCrosse that was totaled in an accident.
Out: Unknown oil, very old AC Delco P47E; the oil itself did not look too dirty but the filter has been on there a long time.
In: STP Full Synthetic, 5W-30; filter STP 3387A; on sale at Advanced Auto.
The car shows no sign of any leaks or engine problems but needed a lot of suspension work, which is why the previous owner parted with it. That's all been corrected and the car drives wonderfully. Transmission shifts smoothly, fluid is still pinkish, I'll leave that alone for now. Coolant is Dexcool but looks reasonably fresh, the car had a new water pump installed four years ago so my guess is that the coolant was renewed then.
Since I don't know how long the car went between oil changes and that filter looked old, I'm going to only let this fill go to 3,000 miles or so. At that point I may switch to Pennzoil High Mileage, which worked really well with my wrecked LaCrosse, and will renew the coolant.

i would be concerned about such a new car using 1/2 quart in 4200 miles. what’s going on here?
That level is fairly common and in itself not a cause for alarm.
I used my truck for going to work, a short drive. while the van is in for ac work. When I checked the oil level it was above the full mark and smelled of fuel. I changed the oil, and it was black and kind of runny like water(good times!) -with Chevron semi-synthetic 5-30 with a fram xg-8 full synthetic filter. I did some reading and a worn engine like mine apparently likes longer trips like I had been using it for. This just reminds me of the rebuilt engine I would like to put in the truck.
