Why Nextgen? got a deal on it & I was curious

89 year old lady changed the oil 20 times in 33k miles, the last one was 4100 as she had Cancer. Sent to Blackstone for a baseline analysis.

Out: AC Delco oil & filter.

In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 + PureOne filter to keep the piston rings clean.

2001 jeep wrangler with 78,800 miles

Drained Mobil 1 TDT with 3500 miles because it was such a nice day and dry outside which wont be happening for the rest of winter (cold is finally coming according to weather)here in Michigan

Put in 6 quarts of Mobil 1 0w-40 with an oversized purolator PureOne filter. Should help with cold starts this winter depending if winter actually comes. I changed the oil in a t-shirt and jeans on january 10th in michigan. laid in my dirt driveway and came out clean and did not need to change. thats unheard of for michigan. Normally id be laying in 6-12 inches of snow with mud in the plowed spots.

Ill probably wax the jeep tomorrow as its going to be the same as today, then a drop to 23 degrees. Im just a Michigander enjoying the salt free winter trying desperately to get ready for salt...if we ever need it. =P

05 Neon sxt,
Only 1096 mi on oil/filter, but it had been 3 months, and I only drive 4.5mi ea. way to/from work.
The factory rec for that type of driving is 3mo/3k mi,which ever comes first. (Severe duty schedule)
(OK, not quite 3 months yet, but dang it, it's January in Ohio, and we had a dry day w/ temps in the upper 50's. I'm taking advantage of the weather)

Also, after joining up here & reading around, wanted to ditch the OCOD @ first opportunity

OUT: Maxlife 5w20 & OCOD HM3614

IN: NextGen Maxlife 5w20 & K&N HP-1002

This is Winter "beater oil"
Jug dino because I'll be changing to a better synthetic when Winter is over

2005 Ford Freestyle, 92,xxx miles

I changed the oil in my 07 Kia Optima today
Out: Valvoline NextGen 5w-20 and a Purolator PureOne 4.5k OCI
In: Pennzoil Platinum and a Bosch Distance +

Now, can I leave it alone for the next 6 months?
 
91' grand am, 2.5 "iron duke" engine. Neighbors car, so I used the MAXLIFE NEXGEN 5W30 with a ac pf 1072 cartridge filter(car has filter that pushes up into pan). 5qts and filter.
 
2003 Subaru Outback 2.5 104k

Out:
Pennzoil Platinum SN 5w30 with an old blue PureOne. Approx 5,500 miles/6 months on oil and filter. Would be going at least 7500 miles but just had some engine work done and want fresh oil in it.

In:
Quaker State Ultimate Durability SN 5w30 with another old stock blue PureOne. Plan to run about 7500 miles or so.
 
2005 Civic Ex Coupe (1.7L SOHC VTEC)

Out: Royal Purple SM 5w20, WIX 51356, ~6100 miles on the oil

In: Toyota 0w20 SN, WIX 51356.

And tossed the EZ Drain Plug for a magnetic version from Goldplug.

I still think the purple kool aid is some strong juice, and my girlfriend's recently purchased 2010 TL SH-AWD will gain the benefit of the remaining 11 quarts.
 
2001 V8 Toyota Tundra

Out: Whatever brand Midas uses of 5w-30 and what looks like a Valucraft oil filter (5,100 or so miles)

In: 6.5qts of Chevron Supreme 5w-30 and a Purolator PureOne (PL10241) oil filter
